It is argued that although these tests are often simple, their accuracy leaves much to be desired. Experimental evaluation of motor losses is quite complex. Results can vary widely even under the best of factory conditions. A field test, therefore, should not be considered a proof test. The stray loss problem, effects of voltage variation, and instrumentation are discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201639,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record, Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference, 1988.","volume":"89 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116798666","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such accidents have focused attention on the evaluation of human performance reliability. The need for human reliability analysis (HRA), and the resulting progress in HRA techniques, have been especially strong in the nuclear power industry because of the visibility and perceived risk of nuclear plant operation. The underlying concept of HRA, to better understand the human interaction with complex systems, reaches beyond the boundaries of any single industry and makes HRA a useful tool in the assessment of safety and reliability for any process of power plant. A methodology for human reliability analysis is described, and its application to the general needs of industrial and process plant operation is discussed.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":201639,"journal":{"name":"Conference Record, Industrial and Commercial Power Systems Technical Conference, 1988.","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1988-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126568205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The significance of human errors in relation to all modes of computer system failures is discussed. A nonstationary model for estimating computer system reliability levels is presented.

However, it is suggested that it is valuable as part of an overall test program. It is claimed that many difficulties and problems, even fires, are developed by poor joints, splices, terminations, etc., because in practice they have poor conductance either when installed, or later developed. A conductance test is recommended especially in contaminated or corrosive environments, for both acceptance and periodic maintenance tests.
