Diversity factor / Faktor Kepelbagaian

- Diversity factor is a calculation of the

estimated for the current rating of the cables.

- diversity factor assumes that not all sources

are connected to the load output at the same
time in a particular installation.

- The size of the main and sub main cable and

control devices are not necessarily in order of
the overall load in an installation.
Where to apply DIVERSITY FACTOR?
- Main cable size
- Main switch rating
- RCCB rating

DIVERSITY FACTOR

We are using FINAL CIRCUIT to calculate DF by

Example
A new residential house to be built require electricity sources
230V, 50Hz, 0.85 power factor of single phase as follows:
(i) 12 x 100W filament lamps, 4 x 100W ceiling fan
(ii) 4 x 13A switch socket outlets & 1 SSO spare point
(iii) 1 x 6 kW electric cooker (come with socket outlet 13A)
(iv) 1 x 1.5 hp air conditioner & 1 x 1.0 hp air conditioner
(v) 3 x Water heater 3kW (instantaneous) with RCD 10mA

a) Calculate the total connected load.

b) Determine the cable size and main protection tools.
c) Draw schematic diagram and show sequences control
system until final circuit.
