YES A-NT-MAN BUT THE RMS REFERS TO THE AC WAVEFORM NOT THE DC OUTPUT.
HENCE THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS RMS DC VOLTAGE.

Root Mean Square does not imply an ac waveform, its jsut most commonly
used for ac waveforms. Every stable waveform has an rms value, even
perfect dc.


Actually, RMS DC voltage is a redundant expression since DC is RMS.


I realised it was perhaps not the best phrasing. But... would the dc
component be the average V or the rms?

DC is all of the following: Average, Peak, RMS, Mean, Mode, and most
anything else.

but not peak to peak...
