CHARACTERISTICS

The crest factor is an important measure of the state of the machine and is an analysis of the waveform

that would be visible only to the calculation of the rate of harmonic distortion.

In a perfect sine wave with an amplitude of "1", the RMS value is equal to 0.707 and the crest factor is

then equal to 1.41. A perfect sine wave contains no

impacts and therefore the crest factor with a value above 1.41 implies that there is some degree of

impact.
