How to calculate electrical panel load diversity
This calculator finds diversified electrical panel load by multiplying connected load by a demand factor — reflecting that not all circuits draw their full rated load simultaneously.
How the calculation works
Diversified load = Connected load × Demand factor.
Example
120 kW connected load with a 0.65 demand factor: Diversified load = 120 × 0.65 = 78 kW.

Pro Tips for Electrical Panel Load Diversity
- Demand factors are often specified by electrical code for specific load categories (lighting, receptacles, motors) rather than being a single blanket figure — check applicable code tables.
- Panel and service sizing should be based on diversified (demand) load, not raw connected load, per standard electrical design practice.
Common Electrical Panel Load Diversity Mistakes to Avoid
- Sizing a panel or service based on total connected load without applying appropriate demand factors, leading to significant oversizing.
