Reliability Analysis of the APC Symmetra MW Power System
Source: APC by Schneider Electric
This paper is a quantitaive reliability analysis of the APC Symmetra MW UPS performed by MTechnology, Inc. (MTech). In contrast to common MTBF calculations based on summing component failure rates, this study used techniques of Probabilistic Risk Assessment (PRA) to calculate the likelihood of over 680,000 potential failure modes. The mathematical method accounts for uncertainty in failure rates and component performance, and provides detailed guidance as to the contribution of each system component to the overall risk of failure.
