Diversity Calculation In Offices And Workshop

[Adsmar99]

Hi i'm currently doing some course work and have no access to the On site guide.
Does anyone happen to know the diversity for, lighting, ring mains, Welding equipment, TP-N equipment and a car ramps. The building is an Office building and a workshop,
Thanks.

In a varied environment like that it would be down to experience really. The OSG will be of no help here. Even the suggested diversity factors in the design guide will be a bit woolly.

I'd start by totalling actual connected loads, appliances, and a thorough interview about the daily running of the place.

Hi @Adsmar99, Welcome to the forum, can you please stick to one thread for this question, you had multiple threads opened asking the same question, it confuses members and means staff have to waste time, merging and deleting these multiple threads.
Can we also ask the background to your question, is this coursework, homework or an actual job? As has been mentioned already, the OSG will only give limited help here, you need experience with said kind of loads to know how much if any diversity is applied, it may be possible to check for Max demand in the last billing period through the supplier or on the meter itself if their is the option to review it, is this for existing equipment or proposed new circuits?

How big and how many people?

A decent size unit with a dozen people I would say 100A TPN.
