{ Proteus 8 } { Alternator } { AC Voltmeter } Meter Displays wrong voltage.

Hi forum,

I want to simulate home wiring into Protues 8 SP0. I have 230V 50Hz system. I want to simulate Simple Home Light Bulb, Tube light and Ceiling Fan. So first I just picked up Alternator from "Simulator Primitives" and placed AC Voltmeter across it. I have set Amplitude = 230V and Frequency = 50Hz for Alternator. But I got 162V in meter. (see following)



Am I doing anything wrong with Alternator?

A problem of the SPICE voltage source specification which is setting the sine peak rather than rms. There's a √2 factor in between.
