RC,

That's all really cool. In interests of keeping it simple, do you agree or disagree that any device that draws 1 watt max average over time cannot output 2 watts average over time?

This is, in a nutshell, my point. Anything beyond that is needless complication.

The 770 is spec'd to draw AT MOST 1800 watts, yet is also spec'd to put out 2100 watts in some cases.

This might be of interest:

PS - RMS can apply to any waveform - sine is easier to compute and most commonly used. To compute RMS (1) square the waveform function (2) average over time (3) take the square root.
