FIELD: electrical engineering; electric power supply of enterprises, settlements and agricultural consumers. SUBSTANCE: multiple statistic analysis of active and reactive power of load averaged during different varying intervals of time ranging from several minutes to several hours are performed, values of full maximum power of load averaged at different intervals of time are determined. This done, value of full rated load power is found from cross-point of dependence curves of maximum full load power and full rated power of current-conducting members in function of averaging interval after multiple repetition of method designed for examination of load of groups consisting of different number of similar electrical receivers with different individual and summary group rated power. Then coefficient of full load power maximum is determined in the form of regressive dependence from average full load power. Values of maximum full load power averaged at different intervals of time, as well as of average full power of load and coefficient of full load power maximum are determined from formulas given in description. EFFECT: extended field of application. 3 dwg
