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.

  • Whilst the accepted guide is indeed to take 100% of the largest two units plus 25% of the remainder, this should in my view be applied per phase and not to the total.



    Agreed (I was trying to make two different point and had overlooked the combination of the two!)
