Total Connected Load (TCL)

My home is supplied by 230V and has the following connected electrical loads.

(Omit those appliances with very low power and not frequently and/or consistently used, such as mobile chargers; do not need to count switched socket outlets, SSOs)

Calculate the demand current using I = (Power/230xcosΦxη) x Correction factor

					Demand (without considering DF)
Item	Appliance	Specification (Type)	Power per unit (W)	Number	Sub-total Load (W)	Load current Calculation	Current (A)
1	Lighting	Fluorescent lamp
2
3
4
5
	Total load				Watts		Amperes

Calculate the approximate Diversity Factor (DF) The actual electricity utilization of my home in April/May 2020 is _____ kWh.The average used power is:   _____Watts

The approximate Diversity Factor is _____

Calculate the Maximum Demand (MD)

The Maximum Demand is:  _____ Amperes
