P
This is Enter the passive failure rate in number of failures per year f/yr per unit length. The passive failure rate
is associated with the component failure mode that does not cause the operation of protection breakers and
therefore does not have an impact on the remaining healthy components. Repairing or replacing the failed
component will restores service. Examples of passive failures include opening circuits and inadvertent opening
of breakers.

Use this field to enter the Mean Time To Repair in hours. It is the expected time for a crew to repair a
component outage and/or restore the system to its normal operating state.
Calculate and display the mean repair rate in number of repairs per year, calculated automatically based on
MTTR ( =8760/MTTR) in Repair/yr.
MTTF

FOR
Calculate and display the Forced Outage Rate (i.e., unavailability), calculated based on MTTR,
A
and
P
(FOR =MTTR/(MTTR+8760/(
A
+
P
)) for unit length automatically.
