Electrical Coincidence Factor Calculator

How Electrical Coincidence Factor works

The stated formula is coincidence = coincident ÷ individual peaks × 100. Electrical Coincidence Factor uses Coincident demand, Sum of individual peaks to report Coincidence factor.

With the loaded values, coincidence factor evaluates to 72.00%. Isolate a single uncertain input during sensitivity checks.

Inputs for Electrical Coincidence Factor

Coincident demand and Sum of individual peaks belong to Electrical Coincidence Factor. Keep source units with coincident demand.

Replace every example value with data from one documented operating condition.

Coincident demand

Example entry: 180 kW.

Sum of individual peaks

Example entry: 250 kW.

Reading the Electrical Coincidence Factor result

This output represents Electrical Coincidence Factor. UPS power loss can be checked in UPS Efficiency Loss Calculator.

A computed value still needs comparison with standard equipment ratings and operating limits.

Measurement and units

Keep tariff periods, demand intervals, meter ratios, and measurement bandwidth consistent with the question being answered. Check prefixes on coincident demand. For diversity factor, use Electrical Diversity Factor Calculator.

Compare scenarios only when their measurement points and unit conventions match.

Limits of this calculation

Loads must belong to the same aggregation. Use Electricity Tariff Calculator to a separate electricity charge calculation.

The displayed formula isolates the stated electrical quantity. Unentered effects remain outside Electrical Coincidence Factor.

A useful Electrical Coincidence Factor comparison

Record coincidence factor before testing a different coincident demand value.

Document the alternate coincident demand source.
