Transparent diversity
Apply diversity at circuit level while keeping both connected load and resulting design load visible.
LVA Power PlannerDocumentationDemand calculation workflow
Connected load and planned demand are not always the same. LVA Power Planner retains the original connected wattage while allowing designers to record circuit diversity and power-factor assumptions that feed into kVA and current calculations.
Apply diversity at circuit level while keeping both connected load and resulting design load visible.
Use a project average power factor or a circuit-specific override when calculating apparent power and current.
Carry the resulting design values through downstream distro links into parent circuits and sources.
LVA Power Planner is an indicative planning and documentation tool. It does not independently verify or certify compliance with BS 7909, BS 7671 or any other standard. Responsibility remains with the competent person and relevant duty holder.
