Seismic reliability calculation of monopole subsystem.

Post-earthquake capacityMonopolar subsystem conditionCalculation formula

100%All is well

75%Only one CTV fails

50%Only one DC fails and the CTVs connected with the runnable DC are well
Both DCs are well, but 2 CTVs fail

25%Only one DC fails and one of the CTVs connected with the runnable DC fails
Both DCs are well and 3 CTVs fail

0%Both DCs fails
Only one DC fails and the two CTVs connected with the runnable DC fail
Both DCs are well and CTVs fail

represents the number of combinations.
