reading of devices nameplates (DC&AC)

[longshanks]

I want to ask about the voltage and currents and power values thats are written on nameplates for each of AC and DC devices..are they RMS values or Average values??

Thanks in advance

- AC devices go by suggested equivalent breaker rating at full load. (RMS)

- DC device go by steady state full load (RMS) not average or typical.

But the power will be average power i think, and if i have a DC motor and AC motor are the values of voltage for each one be avg. Or rms ?
