(in peak amperes)
This is the value of the first peak of the fullyoffset, asymmetrical current, taken from the
instantaneous current curve in the diagram. The
value of the first peak for a 60 Hz system is 2.60,
and is measured at 1/2 cycle of power frequency
(180 electrical degrees). The first peak produces
the most severe mechanical forces between
conductors, and therefore is the critical
mechanical value for bus bars and their supports.

S-factor 1.206.
Since the diagram is referenced to a symmetrical current of
1.000 A rms, the rms asymmetrical (total) current is given by
the S-factor, 1.206 A
