Demand calculation workflow

Power Factor and Diversity Calculations

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.

Transparent diversity

Apply diversity at circuit level while keeping both connected load and resulting design load visible.

Power-factor calculations

Use a project average power factor or a circuit-specific override when calculating apparent power and current.

Linked downstream demand

Carry the resulting design values through downstream distro links into parent circuits and sources.
