Abstract
A model for evaluating blocking probability in distribution networks is presented, and equations for computing blocking probability for the class of series-parallel networks are derived. The quotations are exact for pure series networks and approximate for parallel networks. The accuracy of the approximation is investigated by comparing the blocking probability computed using the equations to measured simulation data. The results indicate that for higher loads and larger switches the approximation is generally within 10% of the simulation results
