Calculated lifetime expectancy
(1)
(1) The calculated lifetime expectancy 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 which can be used to compare devices.

MTBF
(2)
(2) MTBF represents 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. An MTBF figure of for
example, 1 000 000h 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 000h or only for 100 h.
