    Question

    Which of the following factors is always greater than unity?

    A.

    Load factor

    B.

    Diversity factor

    C.

    Demand factor

    D.

    Coincidence factor

    Correct option is B

    Diversity factor: The ratio of the sum of individual maximum demands to the maximum demand on the power station is known as a diversity factor.
    Diversity factor = Sum of individual maximum demands  / Maximum demand on power station 
    Range: Always greater 1, because the sum of individual maximum demands is always greater than the system's maximum demand. This is due to the fact that not all parts of the system reach their peak demand at the same time.
