When you are determining the electrical load of certain appliances, such as a stove (range), it's unnecessary to add together ALL the individual heating loads (oven, rings, etc.) because, under most circumstances, they are rarely operated altogether at the same time. For example, the IEE Regulations (for the UK) specify that, when determining the total load for a 'cooking appliance', the calculated load current should be 10 A of the overall rated current, plus 50% of the rated current, plus 5 A if the appliance has a socket outlet incorporated.

What is the effect of load factor and diversity factor on cost of generation in a power station?

Load factor effects the cost of generation. Higher the load factor higher will be the average load. So no. of units generated for a given period of time for the same max. demand will be more. Therefore, overall cost per unit of electrical energy decreases due to distribution of standing charges which are proportional to the max. demand and independent of units generated. Diversity factor effects the cost of generation. More is the diversity lesser will be max. demand due to which installation capacity of plant will be less. Lesser is the installation capacity lesser will be the capital required for installation. So lesser will be generation cost. And the fixed charges in the tariff would be less.


How do you calculate electrical loads for ac?

By adding together the power ratings, and applying a diversity factor. A 'diversity factor' takes into account that not all loads will be operating at the same time.

What is diversity factor in electrical calculation?

Try to think of a diversity factor as similar to a noncoincidental load factor. If your thermostat phyically limits you to only using either heat or AC at one time, then you can simply use the largest of the two as your load factor. With diversity, think of a college campus environment. If you are in class then the odds are your TV, oven, microwave, etc back in your dorm are probably not being used. R, Bill

What is the meaning of electrical After Diversity Maximum Demand?

The maximum demand with regards to diversity is when an electrical device is running at its maximum capability. The diversity number is typically a percentage, so if a device is running at 80 percent diversity, it is running on maximum demand 80 percent of the time.
