The Customer Total Average Interruption Duration Index (CTAIDI)<ref>Willis, H. Lee (March 2004). Power Distribution Planning Reference Book, Second Edition. ISBN 9781420030310. Retrieved 22 July 2015.</ref> is a reliability index associated with electric power distribution.[citation needed] CTAIDI is the average total duration of interruption for customers who had at least one interruption during the period of analysis, and is calculated as:

<math> \mbox{CTAIDI} = \frac{\sum{U_i N_i}}{N_{io}} </math>

where <math>N_i</math> is the number of customers and <math>U_i</math> is the annual outage time for location <math>i</math>, and <math>N_{io}</math> is the number of customers at location <math>i</math> that were interrupted. In other words,

<math> \mbox{CTAIDI} = \frac{\mbox{sum of durations of customer interruptions}}{\mbox{number of distinct customers interrupted}} </math>

CTAIDI is measured in units of time, such as minutes or hours. It is similar to CAIDI, but CAIDI divides the total duration of interruptions by the number of interruptions whereas CTAIDI divides by the number of interrupted customers. When CTAIDI is much greater than CAIDI, the service outages are more concentrated among certain customers.

CTAIDI also has the same numerator as SAIDI, but SAIDI divides the total duration of interruptions by the total number of customers served. The fraction of distinct customers interrupted illustrates the relationship between several reliability indicators:

<math>

\frac{N_{io}}{N_i} = \frac{\mbox{SAIDI}}{\mbox{CTAIDI}} = \frac{\mbox{SAIFI}}{\mbox{CAIFI}}

</math>
