Abstract

In this paper, Weibull and Poisson distribution calculation are carried out with new data to conclude a conclusion are they suitable for circuit breakers remaining useful life assessment (RUL). Old data are covering a 10 years period consisting of measured voltage drop on CB contacts and number of tripped short circuit faults. In this paper, new data, from the last 3 years, would be used to make a comparison with old data and make conclusions have been probability distributions correctly chosen.
