Demand and Diversity Concepts Study Guide

Demand factor and diversity factor are related loading concepts, but they describe different comparisons.

For study, identify which relationship the wording is testing and verify any Code-dependent percentage in the applicable reference material.

• Demand compares a stated demand condition with connected load.
• Diversity compares separate peaks with the peak of the combined group.
• Power factor is a different AC power relationship.
• Do not assume one remembered percentage applies to every scenario.
