If you are referring to an a.c. current, then the maximum current is the amplitude of its waveform. For a sinusoidal waveform, the amplitude of an a.c. current is its root-mean-square value, divided by 0.707. For example, an a.c current with an rms value of, say, 10 A will have an amplitude of 14.14 A,

When is the collector current maximum?

The maximum collector current is normally rated to be the current at which the DC current gain (hFE) falls to 50% of its maximum value. The maximum peak current is Page 2 Operation notes Transistors Rev.A 2/7 rated at a value which ensures reliability within the maximum allowed junction temperature.

What is the Difference maximum unit current draw and nominal unit current draw?

Maximum current is defined by the rated KW of the device, say Motor. The motor may not run at its maximum rated capacity all the time. Nominal current is drawn when motor runs at nominal load.


How do you convert into maximum current if the average current is given?

Presumably you are referring to an a.c. current?If so, then the average value of an a.c. current is zero so, clearly, you cannot determine its maximum value.However, average current is more-usually applied over half a cycle, in which case, for a sinusoidal current, this value is 0.637 Imax. So the maximum current will be the average value, divided by 0.637.
