Socket Outlet max demand with diversity

[ngoodson1969]

Hi all,

I know this is true:
Power - 100% of the first ring circuit + 40% of all other circuits
But in real terms, lets say I have three ring final circuits, one with 5 double outlets and two others both with 3 double outlets:

Is the max demand therefore 10 x 13A + ((12 x 13A) * 0.4) = 192.4A

Or is that nonsense?????

Cheers
Nick

Hi.

100% of your first ring circuit = 32A

40% of the next - 40% of 32A = 12.8A

Plus another 12.8A for the next so....32+12.8+12.8 = 57.6A

Its a load of old rubbish, it means absolutely nothing and quite honestly why its on the test sheets I dont know
