Demand Load Calculator

Add load groups with individual demand factors, apply a panel diversity factor, and get design load (kW and kVA) for transformer and switchgear sizing.

// INPUTS
DESCRIPTION
kW
DEMAND FACTOR
Multiplier of 1.0 or less, applied across all load groups combined (the reciprocal of the strict IEEE/IEC diversity factor, which is 1.0 or more)
Added to diversified demand load for equipment sizing
Please check inputs.
Total Connected Load -kW
Total Demand Load -kW
Diversified Demand Load -kW
Design Load (with margin) -kW
Design Load (kVA) -kVA
