Diversity factor and demand factor, confussion.....

[divobtech]

Hi, could someone explain me the difference between sum of individual maximum demand and connected load.... do you think it is the same, ?

And the answer for this exercise is what exactly, ?I have some confussion in the calculation...

A power supply is having the following loads,

A domestic load with maximum demand of 1500kw, diversity of group is 1.2 and demand factor 0.8
What will be the connected load... ?

My answer is 2250 kw, could you confirmed this,

Thanks in advance.....

Edit - ignore - cock up.

Thanks but not, it is impossible, the connected load must be always greater than that of the maximum demand.
The answer must be 1800kw or 2550kw ....

I'm sorry, I read the question the wrong way round.

You were correct.
