JEE_V9_N3_RP5 D. Ravi Kumar V. Sankar Journal on Electrical Engineering 2230 – 7176 9 3 32 40 Common Cause Failures, Repairable Components, Distribution System Common Cause Failures (CCF) would indicate the failures of multiple components in a system due to some cause. In this paper, an attempt has been made to analyze the Limiting State Probabilities (LSP) of states for small repairable systems in which, the components are prone for failures due to CCF. For large systems, the same can also be used, as failure modes represent cut sets of the system and it is known that cut sets of order more than three can be ignored as they don't contribute much to predict the indices for approximate system reliability analysis. Analysis of repairable components with CCF is presented with a case study. January - March 2016 Copyright © 2016 i-manager publications.
