Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFLoad factor
Load factor is a measure of the efficiency with which electrical energy is used.
It is defined as the ratio of the average load over a given period to the maximum load during that same period.
\(Load \space factor={Average \space load\over Maximum\space load}\)
The value of load factor is always less than 1.
Diversity factor
The sum of individual maximum demands to the maximum demand on the power station is known as a diversity factor.
\(Diversity \space factor={Sum\space of \space individual\space maximum\space demands\over Maximum\space demand\space on \space power \space station}\)
The value of load factor is always greater than 1.
Hence, statement 1 and 2 are false.
