The  crest of the envelope in that example is 400V.
Since 400V peak equal 282V  effective, PEP power is 1600W not  3200W.

The measurement was made with a scope and the highest peak was  singled out 
and at that point the peak power was 3200 W, but looking at the  complete wave 
including the low spots the PEP would be 1600 per  definition.  Now I guess we 
have to ask Rich what he is driving at. To  qualify my answer I would say 
that the peak power was 3200 W but the PEP power  over the completed wave was 
1600. W
