RMS is the DC equivalent power of AC, & for a sine wave is 70.7% of the peak
value. e.g. the peak value is û2 (1.414) time bigger than the RMS meter

Unlike DC circuits in AC circuits the power is the mean of the Instantaneous
Power which is made from the instantaneous Voltage X instantaneous Current.
For complex non resistive power loads it is usual to use a term Power Factor to
describe the rating factor to be applied to the RMS Volts X RMS Amps to get the
true power rating. Some items are rated in Watts & some in VA depending on
which is the safer limit for that item.
e.g. a kettle is rated in watts & a transformer is rated in VA.
At power stations the amount of Volt Amp Reactive (VARS) is monitored as an
indication of how much wasted energy flows to & from the customers, just
heating up the transmission system. As the transmission lines are capacitive
some inductive power factor is a good idea as it tunes out this capacitance.
