CALCULATION OF FAILURE RATE FOR MOV'S LA/CIII/UltraMOV
 
ARRHENIUS MODEL
  MTBF = e^c+(k/t)

Where

MTBF = Mean Time Between Failures in Hours
C&K = Empirically derived constants
T = Absolute temperature (k) = T( C)+273
Note : 1 Failure in time (FIT) = 10^9 Hours at 55 C

Klow = 6649.4  
Khigh = 13129.7  
No units tested = 907  
No units failed = 1  
K 13129.7  
 
MTBF = (e^(K/328-K/398))*(No units tested*1000) =

1.03563+9
  FIT = 1/(MTBF/(No units failed *10^9)) = 0.96559 FIT


Note :In the model one failure in time has to be estimated in order for the calculations to be completed.
