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.

    Apologies for any spelling mistakes...spell uncheck is going crazy at the moment.




    Reminds me of the following poem I came across some years ago


    Eye halve a spelling chequer

    It came with my pea sea

    It plainly marques four my revue

    Miss steaks eye kin knot sea.


    Eye strike a quay and type a word

    And weight four it two say

    Weather eye am wrong oar write

    It shows me strait a weigh.


    As soon as a mist ache is maid

    It nose bee fore two long

    And eye can put the error rite

    Its really ever wrong.


    Eye have run this poem threw it

    I am shore your pleased two no

    Its letter perfect in it's weigh

    My chequer tolled me sew.

    I think OMS has beaten you to the punch with that one...many years ago. But yes, it's bloody frustrating at times.
