2. Form factor
   The ratio of the R.M.S. to the mean value of armature current - usually assumed to be around 1.5 for a single phase drive and 1.05 for a three phase drive. This needs to be taken into account when sizing fusing, contactors, wiring etc. in the a.c. supply to drives.

7. Form factor
   (electronics) In electronics, the `form factor` of an alternating current waveform (signal) is the ratio of the RMS (Root Mean Square) value to the average value (mathematical mean of absolute values of all points on the waveform). In case of a sinusoidal wave, i.e. an analogue wave, the form...
