In a building, the whole load of Electrical Wiring installation doesn’t use at the same time. In other words, we do not use all the loads at once at home i.e., we do not Switch ON all the fans, light points, Air conditioner, TV, fridge, Water gazer, heater, Electric iron etc at once. Therefore, keep in mind this (diversity factor) factor while selecting the proper and most suitable size of cable for electrical wiring installation. Diversity factor may e defined as:Diversity Factor = Total Connected Load / Actual Maximum LoadGood to know:
Diversity factor may neglect in case of final sub circuits.
Instead of Homes and buildings, Diversity factor in electrical wiring installation may neglect in offices or those places where all connected loads operate at once.
