Demand factor source log
Source-log fields for recording where demand factors and diversity assumptions came from in Australian load worksheets.
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. |
