Typical customers of OMICRON’s comprehensive product line for primary testing are engineers and technicians working mainly in commissioning, maintenance testing and test fi elds. With OMICRON’s solutions, customers are able to test power/current/voltage transformers, circuit breakers, rotating machines, and cable systems in utilities and industry.

OMICRON primary test equipment is also used for automated measuring of resistances (contact, winding, and grounding resistances, cable impedances), and for single-phase testing of secondary protective relays.

Fields of application

OMICRON’s testing solutions for secondary equipment are characterized by outstanding fl exibility, accuracy and reliability. Whether it is energy supply companies, industry or railway companies – CMC test sets are used extensively throughout the world and have become an indispensable tool for protection engineers. Due to their high precision, CMC devices are deployed for calibrating substation equipment as well.

The powerful Test Universe software is an integral part of the CMC test system. It offers comprehensive functionality for manual and auto mated testing of protection and mea-surement devices via a PC. For the CMC 356, CMC 353, and CMC 256plus the CMControl software offers an alternative way of operation. Its intuitive user interface and the test tools included are optimized for quick manual testing in the field.

ADMO is an easy-to-use database software for central planning and management of all testing and maintenance activities for protection systems in the power industry.

All protection-related test modules of the Test Universe Software support testing with IEC 61850 GOOSE and Sampled Values. In addition, OMICRON off ers two PC tools specifi cally for testing with IEC 61850.

> IEDScoutIEDScout is a universal test client for IEC 61850 devices. The software additionally detects and displays GOOSE data on the network. GOOSE messages for testing purposes can be simulated with IEDScout.

> SVScoutSVScout subscribes to the Sampled Values streams from merging units and displays the waveforms of the primary currents and voltages. It off ers numerous functions for analyzing the received data.

In modern protection and automation systems with IEC 61850 communication, the activities in the communication network play a vital role. The proper function and coordination of both, the conventional signals (voltages, currents, hardwired binary status signals) and the messages exchanged on the communication network, are indispensable.

The CMC 356 is the universal test set for all generations and types of protection devices. Its powerful current sources even allow tests with very high power require-ments, such as current and voltage trans-formers testing with primary injection.

The CMC 256plus is the ideal solution for applications requiring a high degree of accuracy. It is not only a universal test set for protection devices but also a very ac-curate calibration tool for energy meters, power quality measurement devices, transducers, phasor measurement units, and many other devices.

With its compact design and low weight, the three-phase test set CMC 353 provides the perfect combination of portability and power. It is ideal for maintenance and commissioning tasks, particularly in industry, distributed gen-eration, and medium- and low-voltage applications.

The CMC 310 is specifi cally designed for basic three-phase testing of protection and measurement devices. It is oper-ated by the CMControl P software which runs on the CMControl P unit or on an Android tablet.

The small and light-weighted CMC 850 is dedicated to IEC 61850. It focuses on the real-time communication methods GOOSE and Sampled Values to inter-face with the devices under test. The CMC 850’s embedded functions provide additional IEC 61850 functionality.

DANEO 400 is a hybrid measurement system that records and analyzes signals from both of these worlds, and can thus provide information to assess the proper coordination.

Electrical tests on transformers, current transformers, voltage transformers, grounding systems, lines and cables, and circuit breakers can be performed with the CPC 100. It is the base for multiple accessories. These facilitate further applications, such as tan delta measurements, as well as line and ground impedance measurements.

The circuit breaker test system CIBANO 500 combines a digital low-resistance ohmmeter, timing and travel analyzer, and a coil and motor supply in a single device. This enables all standard tests to be carried out on all types of circuit breakers.

The CT Analyzer automatically determines all relevant current transformer values and compares the results with the selected standard. Within seconds the device evaluates the current transformer in accordance with the relevant IEC or IEEE standard with the push of a button.

VOTANO 100 can test all of the important parameters of voltage transformers quickly and outside of the high-voltage environment. It is the fi rst mobile test system to also off er high accuracy. The measured results are automatically assessed in accordance with IEEE and IEC standards.

The dielectric response analyzer off ers a fast two-channel measurement of insulation systems in power and instrument transformers, bushings, cables, and generators. In oil-paper insulated dielectrics the moisture content can be determined.

Sweep frequency response analysis detects and diagnoses defects and faults in the windings and magnetic core of power transformers.

OMICRON’s high-precision modular acquisition and analysis toolkit for detecting, recording and analyzing partial discharge events in many applications.

The acoustic partial discharge localization system determines the failure locations via multiple sensors spread over a transformer.

The precise measurement and analysis system for measuring dissipation factors (power factors) and capacitances on high-voltage equipment.

OMICRON off ers innovative and customized monitoring solutions for precise, continuous or temporary monitoring of partial discharge on high-voltage assets such as power transformers, generators, motors, and power cables.

The Primary Test Manager™ (PTM) is a support software for condition diagnosis of power transformers, circuit breakers, and current transformers. The software guides the user through the testing process, assesses results in real time, and automatically generates protocols for all tests performed. Due to its high-performance database, assets and the associated test plans can be managed easily.
