  • Abstract
    The research done over the last decade or so to apply the principles of reliability theory to mine electrical power systems is summarized. The multifaceted effort to estimate the failure rates of equipment applicable to the mine environment is examined, and the use of fault-tree analysis to predict the probability of hazardous voltages on the frames of various pieces of mining equipment is dealt with
