AC 220V from your socket is NOT 220V peak-to-peak ah!
220V is an rms value, which equals to 220 x 1.414 = 325V peak and 650V peak-to-peak.
That's my understanding.

Typo, I guess.
220 V x 1.414 = 311 V
230 V x 1.414 = 325 V
From Wiki:
In Europe, agreement was reached to change the various national voltages, which ranged at the time from 220 V to 240 V, to a common European standard of 230 V.
So in UK (originally 240 V), as an interim measure, electricity suppliers can work with an asymmetric voltage tolerance of 230 V+10%-6% (216.2-253 V).
France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherland etc. all changed from 220 V to a nominal 230 V value.
Will Hong Kong change also to 230 V?
There was precedent that Hong Kong had changed the AC voltage value. In fact many years ago the Hong Kong AC voltage was 200 V.

Power 只有continuous power, peak power, 無 rms power !
It is interesting. The term 'rms power' seems originating from the HI FI industry.
Why there is no such thing as 'RMS watts' or 'watts RMS' and never has been

[For the engineer: You have read that there is no such thing as "RMS power." Technically, you are right. However, over the years the term, regarding audio gear, has come to be applied to the measurement technique outlined above, so we use that language here, rather than terminology with which the customer is unfamiliar. Yes, the computation is mathematically an integral of the instantaneous power.]
An Explanation of RMS Power Measurement
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power is simply the product of RMS Volts and RMS Amps, and the resulting figure is 'power'. Not 'RMS Power' - or any of the insane derivatives described above - just 'power'.
