Calculation of the Exchange Fund of Electrical Equipment of Industrial Enterprises by Basmanov V.G., Kholmanskikh V.M., Cherepanov V.V., Ozhegov A.N., Zakalata A.A.

“…For the case of the simplest flow of applications for service, the authors suggest to use the Peck and Hazelwood tables, which significantly simplify the calculation of the exchange fund for known failure rates and electrical equipment recoveries. For practical use of the proposed method, the authors have developed convenient forms for presenting initial data for calculating the exchange fund, and it is proposed to present the results of calculations in the form of several options for the optimal number of electrical equipment in the exchange fund depending on the accepted level of zero expectation probability, the number of elements from the exchange fund and their recovery time. …”
