This paper deals with two-unit cold standby system with switching device and proviso of rest. The system consists of two non-identical units which are connected in parallel redundancy. Initially, the first unit is in operative mode and second is kept in cold standby mode. There is also a proviso for rest for the first unit after a random time from its starting operation. For operation and repair, priority is always given to first unit. A switching device is used to shift the failed unit to repair mode. If the switching device is found non-operational then priority is given to it for repair provided that system is in functional mode. The effectiveness of the proposed system has been carried out by determining various reliability characteristics of the proposed model.
