The primary objective of Supplying vital 1E rated equipment is "GREATER RELIABILITY."
Some equipment designs are inherently more reliable than others. IEEE 352 outlines a basis for statistically estimating liability as a function of complexity (or parts count). In general, the simpler the equipment, the greater the reliability. Reliability is usually measured quantitatively in terms of "mean time between failure" (MTBF).
Solidstate Controls' already reliable "ferroresonant" design is enhanced to achieve the required 40 year design life criteria.
