IR drop refers to a voltage drop that appears at the resistive component of any impedance. IR drop is the electrical potential difference between the two ends of a conducting phase during a current flow. This voltage drop across any resistance is the product of current (I) passing through resistance and resistance value (R).

Test Coverage Factor

The test coverage factor reflects the effectiveness of testing and maintenance activities in detecting and preventing failures within the SIF. It quantifies the probability that a diagnostic test will detect a dangerous failure before it affects the SIF’s performance. Test coverage is typically expressed as a percentage, ranging from 0% (no test coverage) to 100% (perfect test coverage).
