The generally recognized inspection frequency is a hundred
times more often than the MTTF
d
. The test interval can be
determined from:
Mean time to dangerous
failure MTTF

The MTTF
d
time for the CMD contactor monitoring device
was calculated at MTTF
d
= 125 years. This value is based on
a maximum operating frequency of 350, 400 operations/year
(1 operation per minute, 16 hours per day, 365 days a year).
The MTTF
d
time of the contactors depends on the applica-
tion. The utilization category in accordance with IEC/
EN 60947-4-1 and the operating frequency are an important
factor here. Depending on the utilization category, the
following values can be applied to B
