Based on data collected from 42 Voith Multi Stage Variable Speed Drive units totalling over 1 million operating hours, the document summarizes the reliability and availability of the system. It reports a 99.96% reliability based on only 5 failures causing 450 hours of downtime. The mean time between failures is calculated to be over 213,000 hours. When considering recommended overhauls every 8 years involving a 5 day overhaul for each unit, the availability is 99.83%.
