CIR

CIR, or Circuit Interruption Rate, measures how frequently electrical circuits are interrupted or shut off due to faults, such as overloads or short circuits. It helps engineers and safety professionals assess the reliability and safety of electrical systems. A high CIR indicates more frequent interruptions, which might suggest issues needing attention, while a low CIR suggests stable operation. Monitoring CIR helps prevent electrical failures, reduce downtime, and improve system safety by identifying patterns that could signal equipment problems or potential hazards before they cause serious issues.
