Report on Reliability Survey of Industrial Plants, Part II: Cost of Power Outages, Plant Restart Time, Critical Service Loss Duration Time, and Type of Loads Lost Versus Time of Power Outages

An IEEE sponsored reliability survey of industrial plants was completed during 1972. This survey included the cost of power outages, plant restart time, critical service loss duration time, and type of loads lost versus power outage duration time. Survey results reflect data from 30 companies covering 68 plants in nine industries in the United States and Canada. This information is useful in the design of industrial power distribution systems.
