MTBF (1)
The term major failures and minor failures are taken from the CIGRE publication of the work
group 13.06 Reliability of High Voltage Switchgears.
Definition:
MTBF
Meantime between failure
Major failure (MF)
Complete failure of a panel which causes the lack of one or more of its fundamental
functions.
NOTE: A major failure will result in an immediate change in the system operating e.g. the backup protective
equipment being required to remove the fault, or will result in mandatory removal from service for non scheduled
maintenance (Intervention required within 30 minutes).
Minor failure (mF)
Failure of a panel other than a major failure or any failure, even complete, of a constructional element or a sub-
assembly which does not cause a major failure of the panel.
MTTF
Meantime to failure
