Abstract

Reports on recent research at NORWEB, concerned with rationalizing the company′s equipment replacement policies which has focused on the failure rates of 11kV/415V pole mounted transformers. Results confirm that the Gumbel distribution provides a much more convincing statistical representation for these fault data than the usual Weibull option. © MCB UP Ltd.
