Power is the rate, per unit time, at which energy is transferred. For better understanding how the power is calculated see the picture below. t [s] Fig.4.2.7 Output signal of the PPS20 in PulseDC mode EDFelectronics JRMM Sp. z o.o. sp.k.

Since the output signal of current and voltage of PPS20 in PulseDC mode are like square wave, (waves with distorted, irregular patterns—spikes, pulse trains, squares, triangles, sawtooths and any other ragged or angular waves) the output power is calculated as a RMS value of it. Thus, RMS determine power which is the true electrical power delivered to the load.
