The document discusses maximum demand calculations according to AS/NZS 3000:2007. It defines maximum demand as the total maximum electrical power demanded by a consumer's installation, measured in amps or watts. It also defines ADMD as the maximum amount of electricity a subdivision consumes per lot, which accounts for diversity in loads not all peaking at once. Maximum demand must be determined by considering equipment capacity, distribution, intended use, and how requirements may vary. It can be calculated using Table C1, assessed, measured as the highest 15-minute period, or limited by circuit breaker ratings.

Maximum Demand Calculation

Electrical Terms
Maximum Demand the total maximum electrical power

demanded by a consumers electrical installation, measured in Amperes or Watts. (WAER Section 2 - Definitions)
ADMD stands for after diversity maximum demand, is an

indicator of the maximum amount of electricity a subdivision consumes (on a per lot basis). The diversity allows for the fact that not all homes in a subdivision will demand their peak electricity at exactly the same time, which reduces the maximum demand figure. Electrical designers use the ADMD to design the electrical infrastructure for a subdivision.

AS/NZS 3000:2007
Clause 1.6.3. Maximum Demand The maximum demand of an electrical installation shall be determined taking into account of the capacity, physical distribution and intended use of electrical equipment in the electrical installation and the manner in which the present requirements might vary.
Consumer mains, submains and othe electrical equipment of an electrical installation shall be designed and installed to meet the maximum demand.

AS/NZS 3000:2007
Determination of Maximum Demand AS 3000, Clause 2.2.2. Maximum demand can be determined by one of the following methods: a. Calculation AS/NZS 3000:2007, Table C1 b. Assessment c. Measurement highest demand recorded or sustained over 15 min period. d. Limitation current rating of circuit breaker
