The Methods for Accounting the Degree of Electric Machines Aging in the Assessment of their Reliability

The classification of the conventional methods for the assessment of the reliability from the point of view of the possibility of their application to different degrees of mean time between failures of electric machines is performed. The specific features of the processes of aging of the basic structural units and the methods for their accounting at the assessment of electric machines reliability are substantiated. The approaches to the development of the reliability model and the calculation of its basic characteristics, taking into account the real condition of electric machines and their main structural units, are systemized.
