Abstract :
Due to considerable use of electric drives in industrial applications, reliability assessment of drive-motor systems both in design and operating phases is of considerable importance. Reliability assessment of drive-motor systems is presented in this paper. Using the basic component of a drive-motor system, a suitable reliability block diagram is first developed. The system availability and reliability is then determined using developed block diagram. The impacts on system reliability of various parameters such as failure rate and repair rate of system components are investigated. The proposed technique is then applied to a practical drive-motor system and the results are presented
