2. Describe the acceptable methods for determining the maximum demand on an installations consumers mains. Calculate the maximum demand for the consumer's mains for given installations up to 400 A per phase.

3. What is Maximum Demand? Is the Maximum continuous current that flows in a circuit for a period of 15 minutes or longer AS/NZS 3000 1.6.3 Why not just put a cable size in, that will handle the current rating for the maximum current rating of the appliance? MD

4. What is Maximum Demand? Domestic stove rated at 5kW Max current = 22A Min cable size = 6mm 2 By calculation Max current = 16A AS/NZS 3000 Table C4 Min cable size = 2.5mm 2

5. MD can be determined by: Calculation Assessment Measurement Limitation AS/NZS 3000 2.2.2. If the measured current is larger than any of the listed methods, then the MD is considered the measured value

6. … may be the ….sum of the current settings of the circuit breakers protecting the associated final sub-circuits…. AS/NZS 3000 Clause 2.2.2 (d)
