RMS value of an alternating voltage is 1√2 times the value of peak voltage and is the value of the equivalent DC voltage.

How do you convert RMS to peak voltage?
Use rms voltage and/or rms current to calculate average power, resulting in meaningful power values. The peak-to-peak amplitude of a sinusoid is the rms value multiplied by 2√2. For a sinusoidal voltage, V p-p = V rms × 2√2, where V p-p is the peak-to-peak voltage and V rms is the rms voltage.
What are the different and relations between peak and RMS?
The peak value is the highest voltage that the waveform will ever reach, like the peak is the highest point on a mountain. The RMS (Root-Mean-Square) value is the effective value of the total waveform. It is equal to the level of the DC signal that would provide the same average power as the periodic signal.
What is the peak voltage of a 240 V RMS source?
The RMS voltage is 240 volts, so the peak value Vm= V. √2 = 340 volts.
