I'm always gentle Paddy ...........................I'm a little confused with what your trying to achieve.

If your trying to work out the maximum demand for certification such as an EIC, then personally I would put 100amp which is the size of the main fuse as per you.

If your trying to find the maximum demand or diversity because your adding to the installation then unfortunately though there is guidance in the OSG, it really does not cover commercial/industrial very well as there really is a multitude of things in these types of installation you have to factor in.

If you come back on can you be more specific in what your trying to achieve
