MD = P1 + P2 + P3 +......Pn

where P1 = Your connected load no:1

where P2 = Your Connected load no: 2

Where P3 = Your Connected load no:3

Where Pn = Your Connected load no: 4, 5, 6 and so on.

MD = Power = KW = Voltage (V) x current (I) x 1.732 x PF.

For maximum demand, you need to add all your loads that can be applied simultaneously.

Use Kw. It is assumed that you will balance any single phase loads applied.

I think that you have exceeded maximum demand yourself with such a badly informed and thoughtless uninformed question......

Does this have anything to do with alimony?

That is incalculatable,

= n x maximum generation paying capacity

where n is undefined

"Maximum Demand" I like that concept. That means that there's a finite limit to what they want from me. But even if they bother to calculate it, they'll never tell me.

Maximum demand is one, maximum energy consumption during stipulated periode, depend on board to board, iN INDIA, IT IS 30 MINUTE, It is avergae load for 30 minutes.

Maximum demand = total connected load x demand factor

Demand factor = maximum KVA recorded for last 12 month/connected load

In my view your point is HOW WE MEASURE MAXIMUM DEMAND and what the question conveys relate to the selection of capacity of transformer or alternator which can take the load.

Other CR4 members can comment on this view.
