and K2 are identical.
There is a coupling coefficient between the components that are connected via two channels. Examples
are temperature, EMC, voltage peaks or signals between these components. This is assumed to be the
worst-case estimation, where ß =10%. EN 62061 contains a table with which this ß-factor can be
precisely determined. Further, it is assumed that all usual measures have been taken to prevent both
channels failing unsafely at the same time due to an error (e.g. overcurrent through relay contacts, over
temperature in the control cabinet).
This produces for the calculation of the PFH value for block 1:
PFHtot= PFH(S1) + PFH(EL1904) + PFH(EL6900) + PFH(EL2904) +
