Diversity factor is the ratio of the sum of the individual maximum demands of the various subdivisions of a system (or part of a system) to the maximum demand of the whole system (or part of the system) under consideration. Diversity is usually more than one.

diversity factor refers to the percent of time available that a machine, piece of equipment, or facility has its maximum or nominal load or demand.
