I?m afraid not, Nathan. Sorry. That is not the meaning of the term ?load diversity,? as that term is used in Table B.310.11. The meaning is obscure enough, and justifying a specific load diversity percentage is hard enough, that I have to agree with Don. You need a Registered PE to perform (and seal) a calculation, in order to take advantage of the bottom three entries in that Table.
Just to press the point one step further, the following is the definition of ?Load Diversity,? as taken from an old college textbook of mine: ?The ratio of the sum of the individual maximum demands of the various subdivisions of a system to the maximum demand of the whole system." Whatever that might mean, it is not as simple as running power and lighting in the same raceway.
