Just double checking calcs if anyone bored!
So for a block of 3 flats with no gas services- all flats same. +communal stairs over 2 floors (LED light few small panel heaters)
Flat:
Kitchen Ring (32a) (32)
Ring (32a) (12.8)
Oven (20a) (13)
Hob (32a) (16.6)
Immersion (16a) (16)
Lights1 (6a)...
So now what's the feeling these days on working out maximum demand for domestics, the OSG method has to go out of the window surely, with more and more division of circuits going on. I have been pondering my latest job, very nice but older installation done by an old electrical engineer...
I have to calculate the total consumption for each of the circuits and state the final maximum demand current.
downstairs :2 fittings with 5x 12w lamps,1 fitting with 5 x 12w
1 fitting with 10 x 12w,1 fitting with 1 x 60w,1 fitting with 7 x 20w
2 fitting with 3 x 20w,1 fitting with 4 x 30w and...
Hello all,
i posted this in the electrical theory section but with no responses I thought I would post here as well - since originally posting I have spoken to ELECSA and they have basically said I can use any basis I want to calculate diversity so long as I document what I used and why which...
a small exercise for trainees. something to get the brains kicked in on a bank holiday weekend.
hypothetical scenario.....
i have a DB supplying a flat. max. demand is 60A. it is to be supplied from an external meter enclosed in an approved DNO cabinet. the distribution cable length is 30m...
Hi I am just doing a renovation / upgrade on a small house and as kitchen plus all downstairs was on same ring final I have broken it up into a separate kitchen ring and downstairs ring and renewed best part of the cabling as it was really old stranded earth steel looking junk cable and not...
Good evening all,
I just joined the community and I really hope I can contribute as much as I could be helped. Really.
I'm completing my 2365 lvl3 course however I just got my 305 B assessment paper back. Apparently I didn't calculate well the max. Demand and diversity of a given circuit...
Morning
i have calculated my max demand as 69.6a (sum of mcb's x 0.4)
and on my eic i have n/v the main head fuse- but on the sticker it says 60/80a (i know it could actually be 60 or 80 or 100 inside)
this is the job i am using for my niceic initial assessment
will this be asked about by...

Hi wonder if u could help me
Just rewiring a 3 storey house that's going to be student lets, communal kitchen lounge bathrooms etc
I have worked out the following diversity and demand
Emergency lights 6a x 0.66 = 2.64a
Smoke alarm 6a x0.66 = 2.64a
4 light circuits 4 x 6a x 0.66 = 10.56a

Irrigation is one of the major part of Bangladesh economy. In most of the area Farmers don’t have the access to grid electricity for well pump so demand of solar powered well pump is increasing. Currently, there are almost 1.61 million irrigation pumps running in the country, of which 1.34...
a local pub i do alot of work for wants to build 6 pod style holiday lets in its beer garden and has applied to western power to see if the existing supply can cope with the demand
the existing supply is 2 phase with a 200 amp fuse in each phase leading to a busbar system. ive been asked to...
hello all I've got to carry out some work at a ladys house who is suppoisidly sensitive to electricity, (just like the guy off "better call saul") anyway I'm planning to spilt the two ring mains to four radials and fit four "demand switches" which are meant to isolate the cables when there not...
Hi i have a problem don't know how to calcuate maxmium demand with diveristy and without
The circuit are:
UP lighting 6A
Down lighting 6A
Up radial contain 3 double 16amps
down RFC 32amps
Shower 7kw 30.43A
Cooker 28amps
Could someone help me with that
Hi, i am attempting to do the 2396 exam and in the process of doing a practice paper.
Qu. A distribution circuit is to be installed using a new three-phase and neutral 100A distribution board within an industrial installation. assumed demand per phase is 100A following the application of...
Help!!! I've been asked to work out the maximum demand for a new property for the DNO, I believe I have worked it out correctly applying diversity (something I've hardly looked at since college) but it seems abit high.
there will be 12 potential circuits.
1. 32amp cooker
2. 32 amp hob
3. 32 amp...
Hello All, Just wondered if you have time to answer a quick question.
For maximum demand on a three phase final circuit i.e A 20 A TP-N supply. Do I have to allow 20 Amps for each phase without further calculation.
Hopefully someone can help me out please. We have installed a biomass system which feeds multiple properties. Each property has an s plan system. A 2 core signal cable is connected to the orange and brown cable on the 2 port valve at each property which sends a volt free signal back to the...
Hi.
Question regarding maximum demand calculation.
I have a customer which wants to have a second kitchen fitted in the house. Is this at all possible?
There are two consumer units in the house.
One which has following circuits:
