A consumer consumes 600 kWh per day at a load factor of 0.40. If the consumer increases the load factor of 0.70 without increasing the maximum demand. The consumpt ion of energy in kWh is______

1. 1050 kWh
2. 1500 kWh
3. 1005 kWh
4. 5010 kWh

Correct Option: A

Load factor =	Energy consumed in 24 hours
	Maximum demand in kW × 24

or 0.40 =	600
	Maximum demand in kW × 24

Maximum demand in kW =	600
	24 × 0.40

= 62.5 kW
When load factor is 0.70.
Energy consumed in 24 hours = (Load factor) × (maximum demand in kW) × 24
= 0.70 × 62.5 kW × 24 = 1050 kWh
