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
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.
A load loss factor, LLF,not loss load factor,Êis a calculation used by electrical utility companies to measure energy loss.Ê Its the ratio of average load loss to peak load loss.
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.
Diversity factor is the ratio between sum of each individual maximum demand and the total maximum demand. There are several equipment with different connected load and its maximum demand in an industry. Each equipment maximum demand could be different and might occur at different times. A well estimated or measured diversity factor would tell as to what percentage of total maximum load would actually occur. Diversity factor is always less than 1. Diversity factor has to be obtained either by measuring the actual sum of each individual load and maximum demand or estimated and has relation to the transformer full load .
maximum demand load can be calculated as: # maximum demand=demand factor * Connected load or by # maximum demand = connected load * Diversity Factor Note: Demand factor and diversity factor are NOT same

To do a load calculation effectively, you need to determine the total electrical load required for a building or system. This involves calculating the power consumption of all electrical devices and appliances, considering factors like voltage, current, and power factor. By accurately assessing the load, you can ensure that the electrical system is properly sized and can handle the demand without overloading.

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.

Diversity factor is a measure used in engineering to account for the ratio of the sum of individual peak demands to the peak demand of a group of loads. It helps in determining the overall capacity requirements for a system. A higher diversity factor indicates a greater variation in the timing of peak demands, allowing for a more efficient allocation of resources.
Conflict can be an important factor in maintaining ethnic diversity.
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.
It makes the calculation of currents and voltages easier.
