Max Demand for Connectable Installations

Post by JamieP »

I am doing max demand calculations for a shed and there is to be a 16A socket outlet set up in accordance with 3001 but I'm just wondering what value I use for max demand?

B ii and b iii don't explicitly apply

Possibly M? But what can I assess?

Or because the connectable is current limited by a 16A device treat it as a full 16A?

app A of 3001 provides guidance.
But if you allow the full 16 A you can't be wrong

I was under the impression App A was for caravan parks etcetc

I am simply doing a supply to a shed and putting a single connection point

Agree though, allowing the full 16A seems to be the best option

yes the appendix is specifically for caravan parks, but it provides a basis for assessing in other situations that is likely to be closer to reality than treating this point as just a socket outlet.
