How to add extra kw in respect to diversity factor
If contract demand is 4500 KVA and in the month we received maximum demand is 3708 KVA.If we want to add 150 kw extra ,then how we can add it in respect to diversity factor?

First we must define maximum demand and diversity factor of an electrical installation. – Maximum demand is the maximum anticipated installation load plus any allowance for future loading (Sm); – Connected load is the total of all electrical loads (Sc); – Diversity is the ratio of maximum demand to the connected load (D). Diversity, therefore, can be represented by D = Sm/Sc To provide an economic design which meets the safety requirements needs design experience, skill and not a little judgment in establishing a figure for the actual load (i.e. maximum demand). In load assessments, certain assumptions have to be made with regard to actual current drawn by equipment. Fixed loads are easy, but this is not so for some other loads for example socket-outlet circuits, which may have a theoretical load many times that which is likely to be drawn in service. Generally diversity factor of switchgear may be decreased due to number of outgoing increasing. Based on experience, IEC 60439-1 has suggested a
