(1) The Lifetime expectancy that is shown in the table indicates the minimum operating hours (service life) and is determined by the
lifetime expectancy of the built-in electrolytic capacitors. Lifetime expectancy is specified in operational hours and is calculated
according to the capacitor’s manufacturer specification. The manufacturer of the electrolytic capacitors only guarantees a maximum
life of up to 15 years (131 400 h). Any number exceeding this value is a calculated theoretical lifetime that can be used to compare
devices.
(2) MTBF stands for Mean Time Between Failure, which is calculated according to statistical device failures, and indicates reliability of a
device. It is the statistical representation of the likelihood of a unit to fail and does not necessarily represent the life of a product.
The MTBF figure is a statistical representation of the likelihood of a device to fail. A MTBF figure of for example, 1 000 000 h means
that statistically one unit fails every 100 hours if 10 000 units are installed in the field. However, it cannot be determined if the
failed unit has been running for 50 000 h or only for 100 h.
