2 5 Total Load Considerations

If all the connec1ed loads in the building arc ari1hmetically 1oialed (lhal is, all expressed in hp. kW.kVA. or A
al some specified voliage) 10 identify the 101al building load. lhe resul1an1 number will in mos1cases seem 10
require a larger power sys1emcapaci1y than will he realistically needed to adequa1ely servethe loads.The average
load on lhe power sys1em is usually less lhan 1he iota! c:onnee1ed load; 1his is 1enned 1he"demand load."
IImay vary depending on the time in1erval over which theload is averaged. Certain loads may a1 times he
turned off or opera1ed al reduced power levels. reducing lhe sys1em power rcquiremen1s (1ha1 is, to1al
load).This effec1 is 1enned '"diversi1y." and it may he expressed as a diversi1y factor.
