peak power
Highest energy level
Peak power is the maximum output a system can deliver in a short burst, as opposed to sustained or continuous output.
The term appears across domains: an amplifier's peak power rating, an athlete's peak power during a sprint, a solar panel's peak power under ideal conditions.
The engine produces 400 horsepower peak power.
Peak power often exceeds what can be maintained—it's the ceiling, not the cruising altitude.
