The reliability of equipment for the electric power industry has become increasingly important with increasing power demands. Reliability testing is one key to improving equipment reliability. Reliability demonstration testing, and specifically its use on power circuit breakers, is discussed in detail. It is concluded that the use of reliability testing techniques on power industry products can substantially reduce operating costs and expand effective system capacity by significantly reducing unplanned outages.
