air conditioning diversity

[David Walsh]

Hi everyone, I am looking to find out the diversity factor on air conditioning units. Never worked with them before and am finding different details online. Any help or guidance would be much appreciated. thanks

Are they domestic or commercial application? Some more details would be good if you can.

Hi Marvo, its domestic 12.9 amps input power, cooling capacity 7330 watts and 2400 btu if that helps.

 

[Marvo]

How many units are there in total?

 

[David Walsh]

They are all on individual breakers so just one.

They are all on individual breakers so just one.

That would depend if there is more than one A/C unit covering the same room or area!!

 

[David Walsh]

there are 6 in total all on individual breakers. if I know the diversity one, nti ppy tt to them all?

I think with air conditioning in a domestic environment I'd be looking at where they're installed as well as whether they're heat pump units being used as the primary method of heating in winter and also whether they're internal inverter driven. For example if some are in bedrooms and others in general living areas it might be reasonable to assume that the bedroom load won't be running at the same time as the living areas because it's unlikely usage of these areas will coincide.
