Calculate Demand Factor



Formula

The formula to calculate the Demand Factor (DF) is:

\[ DF = \frac{MD}{CL} \]

Where:

What is Demand Factor?

The demand factor is a measure used in electrical engineering to assess the efficiency of electrical usage. It is calculated by dividing the maximum demand by the connected load. This ratio helps in understanding the actual load usage compared to the total connected load capacity.

Example Calculation

Consider an example where:

Using the formula to calculate the Demand Factor:

\[ DF = \frac{80}{100} = 0.80 \text{ kW/kW} \]

This means that the demand factor for this example is 0.80 kW/kW.
