Maximum Demand Calculation <2024>
Most utilities allow you to set a – a threshold. If you exceed it, you pay a penalty (e.g., 2× the normal rate for the excess). If your MD is consistently 10% below contract, reduce the contract to save fixed charges.
A capacitor bank improves PF from 0.7 to 0.95. For a 700 kW real load: maximum demand calculation
