Abstract

With increased emphasis on reliability and cost control, industry are striving to achieve more reliable electrical systems and at the same time minimize the costs associated with building, operating and maintaining them. This paper covers the details of an easy to use PC computer model that can calculate the availability and reliability of electrical systems and can determine the cost impact due to loss of production associated with the failure of a segment of the system
