Demand factor source log
Source-log fields for recording where demand factors and diversity assumptions came from in Australian load worksheets.
Demand factor source log keeps power and load table values traceable for Australian records. Record demand-factor source details without publishing a universal factor table. Check the source, last verified date (13 July 2026), Australia; project method, authority requirements and competent review govern final demand values., and the current project documents before carrying any row into a calculator or design note.
Demand-factor evidence to record
Record demand-factor source details without publishing a universal factor table.
| Field | Record | Source | Boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Demand method | Method or project rule used for the load group. | Project reviewer or governing source | This table does not publish the method. |
| Entered factor | Demand, diversity or coincidence factor entered into the worksheet. | Reviewer, project document or governing source | A factor without source context should be rechecked. |
| Applicable load group | Which rows or equipment the factor applies to. | Switchboard load schedule | Do not apply one factor across unrelated loads. |
| Authority or DNSP note | Any requirement that affects demand interpretation. | Authority, DNSP or project condition | Live project documents remain controlling. |
| Reviewer and date | Who recorded or checked the factor and when. | Project record | Stale assumptions should be reviewed before reuse. |
- Use this table to keep demand inputs traceable.
- It deliberately avoids publishing controlled factor values or final project decisions.
Before diversity assumptions are applied
Record where each demand factor came from so the maximum-demand result can be reviewed against the relevant project and authority context.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Purpose | Record demand-factor source details without publishing a universal factor table. |
| How to use the source | Source-log table only; demand arithmetic lives on the maximum-demand calculator. |
| Standards and project context | AS/NZS 3000 maximum-demand context noted for project review; verify current rules, authority requirements and project method. |
| Where judgement is still needed | Use this table for lookup, labelling or worksheet context; do not treat it as a project-specific calculation result. |
| Before relying on it | Confirm current standards, local authority requirements, DNSP conditions, project documents and manufacturer data before relying on a decision. |
Standards basis for demand-factor evidence
Review the cited source, checked date and Australian application before using a demand factor in a project calculation.
| Item | Value |
|---|---|
| Source | AUWiring maximum-demand calculator field model and Australian project source-record practice. |
| Source type | AUWiring field model with standards context |
| Derivation basis | AUWiring source-log table for user-entered demand assumptions; controlled standards tables and authority rules are not reproduced. |
| Last checked | 2026-07-13 |
| Review interval | Annual or when maximum-demand calculator fields, standards context or source-record practice changes. |
| Review trigger | Calculator field change, standards update, authority context change, demand method change or project feedback. |
| Version used | R13-2026-07-13 |
| Australian application | Australia; project method, authority requirements and competent review govern final demand values. |
