N2  - This paper presents two newly developed probabilistic models representing reduntant systems with common-cause failures, human errors and partially energized standby units. System reliability, steady-state availability, mean time to failure and variance of time to failure formulas are developed. Several plots and tablesdemonstrating the effect of varying human errors and common-cause failures on system reliability, mean time to failure, state probabilities and availability are presented.<p />
