The 1.4A along this hypotenuse is also known as the 2-Phase On position, since both A and
B Phases are “On” and receive current. It is also known as the peak current.
As we see the waveform that’s plotted for the A Phase, the highest value on the curve is
known as the peak value.
Motors have a rated current, or average RMS value since in operation, the current is
continuously changing. The most logical way to describe a rating is to take an average, or
RMS (root means squared) value. But drivers understand current in terms of peak current,
therefore the conversion is: Amps/Phase x 1.4 = Amps Peak
