diversity

[drew84]

i'm trying to work out total load of a consumer unit on a job, lighting and other bits are quite straight forward but when it comes to socket circuits i'm not too sure if i reading the diversity table right it says " 100% of current demand of largest point of utilisation + 40% of current demand of every other point of utilisation" so do i take 32A of first circuit and 13A for rest is this correct

usually shower or cooker is largest load, so 100% say 40A, then add up the other breaker ratings and X 0.4, say that comes to 50A, then your total demand is 40+ 20 =60A

This is correct for socket outlet final circuits, both ring & radial..
