Explanation:
In this instance, 'intensité' may, I believe, be best: these sorts of things are often abbreviated to 'I', so it keeps it logical.

I think when we are talking, even just notionally, about current VALUES, then the notion of 'valuer d'intensité' (and the fact that these are often denoted by 'I') sits better in FR — and as Schtroumpf so rightly points out, this neatly sidesteps the issue of repetition.

courant de crête (courant de pointe)


Explanation:
En ingénierie, le courant est toujours désigné par « I », quel que soit son type. Le courant de pointe est désigné par l'indice « p ».

Examples:

Les paramètres dits "de crête" pour un courant alternatif, sont ceux correspondants à la valeur maximale de la variable dans l'équation sinusoïdale du courant (cela peut donc concerner l'intensité, ou l'élongation, ou autre.…)

Je connais surtout l'expression « courant de crête », qui décrit l'évolution du courant lors de la mise en marche et de l'arrêt.
