ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION PLANNING LSEGG307A 9080F

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

Maximum Demand Non-Domestic Load are generally heavier Stay on for longer periods of time Heating & cooling has an effect on load
