Description
Summary:	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.
