Diversity

Good morning all.


I have a question regarding diversity calc.

So, for example, I have a office unit that has three floors.

There is a main DB feeding the block, each floor has a submain DB feeding three single dbs.

For ease I will make all the DBs the same.

So, the single dbs supply:

3 x 16A Power circuits,

2 x 32A Shower circuits feeding a 7KW shower on each,

1 x 16A Water Heater feeding a 3 KW heater,

1 x 6A Lighting circuit feeding 6 x 20W lights.


So, for diversity I have

Power - (100% x 16) + (50% x (16 + 16) = 32A

Water Heaters - (100% x 30.4) + (100% x 30.4) + (25% x 13.04) = 64.06

Lighting - (90% x 0.52) = 0.46 

Which give a total diverse loading of 96.52 A (100A supply).


Which gives a 300A supply to each submit DB and a 900A supply to the main DB


Is this correct?

Now,  line 9 of table A2 gives a diversity of final circuits.

How would, if I should, apply this.


Thank you in advance.


Richard.

    Using the OPD device results in insanely high figures.
