Maximum Demand Table Here

Ensure MD ≤ supply transformer/fuse rating. If MD exceeds 80% of supply rating, consider load shedding or upgrading supply.

Keeps sub-mains and service cables down to safe, manageable, and cost-effective diameters. maximum demand table

To construct an accurate table, the following parameters must be defined: Ensure MD ≤ supply transformer/fuse rating

Assign the required Amperage to the primary group of items. maximum demand table

Inventory all light fittings, power points, and fixed appliances.

Simply summing the individual maximum demands results in a "coincident maximum," implying all peaks happen simultaneously. This is statistically improbable for a large facility. A is applied to the subtotal to derive the actual Maximum Demand on the incoming supply. This factor typically ranges from 0.7 to 0.9 depending on the facility type.
