The term "RMS" stands for "Root-Mean-Squared", also called the AC equivalent to DC voltage. ... Since an AC voltage rises and falls with time, it takes more AC voltage to produce a given RMS voltage than it would for DC. For example, it would take 169 volts peak AC to achieve 120 volts RMS (.707 x169).
