hi guys
ive got myself a little confused here when trying to calculate a max demand figure for the installation below.
60amp TNCS supply to a bungalow.
1x 30A Ring Main
1x 30A cooker unit(with socket)
1x 40A Shower (8.5kw)
2x 20A Radials
1x 5A Lights (7x100w)
using table 1B app 1 OSG
ring main (30a) no diversity = 30A
cooker unit(30a) 10A+30%(fl)+5A =24A
shower(40a) no diversity = 36.9A
radial(20a) 40% = 8A
radial(20a) 40% = 8A
lights 66% =3.04A
using these figures it comes out at 109.9Amps what am i forgeting as this cant be right can it? do i have to apply diversity again ?
when i use my usual method of adding up the MCB's and then multiplying by 0.4
40+30+30+20+20+5 x 0.4 = 58 Amps
which is what id expect. any help would be appreciated.
