At present, the theoretical life of LED has been 1.0 X 106h, and it is difficult to give a correct evaluation of its life and reliability by life test under normal stress conditions. The experiment of LED reliability is usually an accelerated life test, that is, the stress is increased without changing the stress failure mechanism to accelerate the change of the physical chemistry of the LED and shorten the test time. Through the accelerated life test, you can understand the product's life characteristics, failure law, failure rate, average life and various failure modes that may occur during the test. The following is a brief introduction to "the meaning of LED product life" and "introduction to accelerated life test methods" and "general steps to accelerate life."
First, the meaning of product life
1.1 What is the life of the product?
Product life is the period from the start of the operation to the failure of the product.
1.2 Definition of life
Life is generally defined by Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) or MeanTime To Failure (MTTF).
1.3 What is MTTF?
What is the average time from the start of the product to the failure?
For example, the number of hours an engineer measured the life of five LEDs is as follows:
10000, 12000, 10500, 11200, 11000, then MTTF = (10000 + 12000 + 10500 + 11200 + 11000) / 5 = 10,940 hours.
1.4 What is the meaning of MTBF?
In addition to the life expectancy, MTBF generally refers to the average time of two failures in the “Repair Systemâ€, as shown in the figure below, MTBF=(100+80+120)/3=100 days.
1.5 Reasons for MTTF to assess life expectancy?
A: In practice, the MTBF is applicable to the reference of the Renew timing before the failure of the “repair system†to ensure that the system can operate normally.
B: Since the LED products are not part of the “repair systemâ€, the life expectancy of the MTTF is more in line with the LED product attributes.
Second, the introduction of life test
2.1 What is a life test?
A: Whether the life of the product meets the requirements must be determined by the “Test†procedure, which is called “Life Test†in reliability engineering.
B: Precautions for life test:
a) The failure rate of the same test conditions must be constant b) the early period product must be rejected
2.2 Planning of life test
a) Determine the method of product testing b) Determine the sampling plan c) Determine the number of samples n
d) setting the criteria C
2.3 Sampling plan method for life test
The life test has the following three sampling plans:
a) Fixed sampling plan b) Timed sampling plan c) Sampling plan
Unfinished

Medium Voltage STA Armored Cable
Medium voltage STA cable is a type of Power Cable used for transmitting electricity at medium voltage levels. The armored cable is designed with a steel tape armor layer that provides mechanical protection to the cable against external forces, such as impact, crushing, and abrasion. The armor layer also provides protection against rodents and other animals that may damage the cable.
The medium voltage STA cable is typically used for underground and overhead installations in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. It is suitable for use in harsh environments, including areas with high humidity, corrosive gases, and high temperatures.
The cable is constructed with a copper or aluminum conductor, insulated with XLPE or EPR material. The insulation provides electrical insulation and protects the conductor against moisture and other environmental factors.
The steel tape armor layer is applied over the insulation layer and provides mechanical protection to the cable. It is made of galvanized steel and provides excellent resistance to corrosion.
The medium voltage STA cable is available in various sizes, ranging from 3.3 kV to 33 kV. It is manufactured in compliance with international standards, such as IEC, BS, and ASTM. The cable is tested for quality and safety before it is supplied to customers.
In summary, the medium voltage STA armored cable is a reliable and durable power cable used for transmitting electricity at medium voltage levels. It is suitable for use in harsh environments and provides mechanical and electrical protection to the cable.
