Hi,

Could anyone please help me on calculating maximum demand and then applying diversity. It does say a bit about in the 17 edition(red book) but it does not give that much.thanks

 
thanks for the help.

of a 16 amp radial socket=2300w expected to be drawn.

of a 6 amp light= 100w expected to be drawn

 
thanks andyc.

just to confirm what i have understood from the regs, i work out my total amperage for the first socket i take 100% and then add 40% of the total amperage of the others.

Then for lights add all the total amperage then multiply by 70%(i think) to give me total.

Is that right? thanks

 
The diversity would depend on the load .. and also the type of premises

If you have a copy of the OSG , page 97
