A consumer's maximum demand is 50 kW and the energy taken in a 720-hour month is 6000 kWh. The load factor is

  • A.0.083
  • B.0.167
  • C.0.6
  • D.6.0

Answer: B

Load factor is the average power divided by the maximum demand. The average is \( 6000/720 = 8.33 \) kW, and \( 8.33/50 = 0.167 \). A low load factor means plant sized for a peak that is seldom approached, which is expensive to provide.
