1. The influence of the environment on the reliability of the relay: the average time between failures of the relay is the highest under GB and SF, reaching 820,000h, while in the NU environment, it is only 60,000h.
2. The influence of quality grade on the reliability of relay: when the relay of A1 quality grade is selected, the average failure interval time can reach 3660000h, while the average fault interval time of the relay of C grade is 110000, which is 33 times different, which shows that the quality grade of the relay has a great impact on its reliability performance.
3. The influence of the contact form on the reliability of the relay: the contact form of the relay will also have an impact on its reliability, the reliability of the single-throw relay is higher than that of the double-throw relay with the same number of knives, and the reliability gradually decreases with the increase of the number of knives, and the average failure interval time of the single-pole single-throw relay is 5.5 times that of the four-pole double-throw relay.
4. The influence of structure type on the reliability of relay: there are 24 types of relay structure, and different types have an impact on their reliability.
5. The influence of temperature on the reliability of the relay: the working temperature range of the relay is between -25 and 70 °C. As the temperature increases, the mean time between failures of the relay gradually decreases.
6. The influence of the action rate on the reliability of the relay: with the increase of the relay action rate, the average time between failures basically shows an exponential downward trend. Therefore, if the circuit is designed to require a very high rate of relay, then the relay needs to be carefully inspected so that it can be replaced in time during circuit maintenance.
7. The influence of current ratio on the reliability of the relay: the so-called current ratio is the ratio of the working current of the relay to the rated load current. The current ratio has a great impact on the reliability of the relay, especially when the current ratio is greater than 0.1, the average fault interval time decreases rapidly, and when the current ratio is less than 0.1, the average fault interval time is basically unchanged, so the load with a larger rated current should be selected in the circuit design to reduce the current ratio, so as to ensure that the reliability of the relay and even the whole circuit is not reduced due to the fluctuation of the working current.

Siemens APT Relays – Selection Principles for High Voltage Relays
1. Electrical parameter matching: The rated voltage and current of the high-voltage relay need to match the circuit demand, too small will lead to the failure of the switch, too large will waste the cost.
2. Mechanical parameter adaptation: the external dimensions, pin arrangement and wiring mode of the high-voltage relay need to be adapted to the actual installation ring.
