Figure 4-3: "The CIBANO 500 voltage operating mode" shows the switching of the internal amplifiers in
the voltage operating mode. In this case seven channels are available: A1…A3 and B1…B4. Three
channels of these seven channels can be used synchronously but all either of the section A or the
section B. You cannot use the outputs of both sections at the same time but only sequentially, one after
each other.
The driving source of the channel can be either the internal amplifiers or an external source connected
to the V IN input of CIBANO 500. Depending on the settings of the firmware the amplifier matrix in Figure
4-3 connects inputs of the IGBTs (integrated gate bipolar transistors) to either the internal amplifier or
the external source. The socket matrix then routes the output of each of the three IGBTs to the seven
channels on the CIBANO 500 side panel. To apply a voltage to a socket the corresponding IGBT is
closed.
Note: There is a certain voltage drop across the IGBTs which is not controlled by the source due to the
design related issues of the device.
24 OMICRON
Functional scheme
In comparison to the current operating mode (see 4.2 "Current operating mode" later in this chapter) in
which you can select three individual amplifiers the voltage operating mode provides only one single
amplifier composed of six amplifiers. Consequently, you cannot apply two different voltages at the same
time but only sequentially. In the voltage operating mode, two modes are available: the high-range
voltage mode and the low-range voltage mode. For the output data of the voltage operating mode, see
20.2 "CIBANO 500 specifications" on page 238.
The current measurement is performed in series to each IGBT. The voltage is measured for each output
individually.

Figure 4-4: "The CIBANO 500 current operating mode" shows the switching of the internal amplifiers in
the current operating mode. In this case three independent current channels are available: A1, A2 and
A3. These channels are driven by the amplifiers Amp X, Amp Y and Amp Z. The sockets B1, B2 and B3
are connected to the same potential, in this case to the neutral potential of the channels A1, A2 and A3.
In the current operating mode, two modes are available: the high-range current mode and the low-range
current mode. Each channel is equipped with two amplifiers giving a total of six amplifiers which can
either be switched in parallel (high-current mode) or in series (low-current mode). For the output data of
the current operating mode, see 20.2 "CIBANO 500 specifications" on page 238.

To perform motion measurements on a circuit breaker a travel transducer needs to be applied to the
mechanical linkage. One goal of the motion measurement method is the assessment of the main
contacts within the interrupter unit. However, the interrupter units are not accessible by the motion
sensor directly. Therefore the sensors are applied to the connecting rod or the drive lever on the outside
of the interrupter unit. In order to still be able to get the motion path of the main contacts, you can
calculate it based on the measurements taken by the motion sensor.

For a basic circuit breaker design a contact factor is accurate enough for calculating the path of the main
contacts. Use conversion tables if there are more than one lever within the mechanical linkage between
the sensors.
Under Conversion tables, you can manage conversion tables for the contact travel calculation when
using angular transducers. You can load conversion tables in the native Megger format (.tbl) and as
comma-separated value files (.csv).

Circuit breaker data
The imported CSV files must comply with a special format in which the first line is reserved for a comment
and the second line specifies the units “degree” and “mm” separated by a semicolon (“;”). All following
lines consist of one value pair per line that specifies the transducer movement in degrees and the
converted movement in millimeters separated by a semicolon. The following example shows the general
CSV format structure.

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current possible
► Never use the CIBANO 500 test set without a solid connection to ground.
► Ground CIBANO 500 with a cable of at least 6 mm2 cross-section as close as possible
to the operator.
Typical MV circuit breakers are opened and then removed from the rack according to the specifications
of the circuit breaker manufacturer and the substation regulations. We recommend disconnecting the
circuit breaker completely from the station, including the secondary connections, and to ground the
circuit breaker on one side. Because you can use CIBANO 500 to supply the circuit breaker during the
test, in this way the maximum safety is guaranteed.

2. Make sure that all cable connectors are clean and dry before being tightly connected.
3. Connect CIBANO 500 to the main contact of the circuit breaker for one phase according to the wiring
diagram displayed in Primary Test Manager.
Tips & Tricks: For easy connection use the delivered multi-core cables and connect the end with the
short wires to the CIBANO 500 sockets according to the short-wire labels. Connect the cable end with
the long wires according to the wiring diagram to the corresponding Kelvin clamp. The black AN cable
is not needed for this test and remains unconnected.
I V
Tips & Tricks: The delivered Kelvin clamp is the perfect solution for connecting to a massive conductor
like a copper busbar or similar. We recommend using only the red connectors of the Kelvin clamps
(which is the current path) when connecting to the contact fingers of a MV circuit breaker. Use a
separate clamp for the voltage sense cables (BN and B4) which can be mounted closer to the MV
circuit breaker contact. If the connection is set up properly the resistance decreases when the voltage
sense clamps are connected closer to the circuit breaker contact. The polarity of connection does not
matter for this test.

O With this sequence, the opening time of the circuit breaker is measured.
Only for O and C sequences we recommend performing the test twice, once
with nominal voltage and once with 20% undervoltage to assure the
functionality of the circuit breaker for a weak station battery.
C This is the sequence to measure the closing time of the circuit breaker.
OC With this sequence, a closing operation after the circuit breaker has tripped
to clear a fault is simulated.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. An open
command initiates the sequence, followed by a dead time to clear the fault;
and finally a close command must close the circuit breaker. This sequence
is also known as reclosing sequence. To find out the shortest reclosing time
the circuit breaker can provide, the close command is already applied while
the circuit breaker is still opening. The circuit breaker then will close after
opening as fast as possible.
110 OMICRON
Application
Sequence Action
CO With this sequence, a tripping operation after the circuit breaker has been
closed under a fault condition (trip-free) or the verification of the correct
operation of the anti-pumping system is simulated.
To test the trip-free time the circuit breaker must be in the open position
before the test is started. The circuit breaker is closed and then during the
close operation is still in progress an open command is sent. The circuit
breaker then opens as fast as possible.
To test the anti-pumping function of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker
must be in closed position before the test is started. For this test the open
time is set shorter (typically 200 ms) than the closing time (typically 400 ms).
Ensure that the end time is increased so that the test sequence covers the
whole close command duration (typically at least 190 ms). When the close
command is sent the circuit breaker is already closed which initiates the
anti-pumping function. Then an open command is sent and the circuit
breaker trips. The closing command is still on when the open command
ends, but the circuit breaker should not "pump", so that it should not close
again.
O-CO With this sequence, a reclose sequence (OC) under a fault condition is
simulated. If the fault is not released, the circuit breaker must open (O)
immediately and remain in this position.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. The sequence
begins with an open command, after a dead time the close and open
commands (CO) must be applied at the same time (delay time typically
300 ms).

breaker.
► Always ground the circuit breaker on both ends on all phases and close the circuit

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current possible
► Do not connect the EtherCAT® cables to the CB MC2 module before they are
connected to CIBANO 500.
► Connect the EtherCAT® cables first to CIBANO 500 and then to the CB MC2 module.
1. Make sure that all cable connectors are clean and dry before being tightly connected.
2. Connect the CB MC2 to CIBANO 500 with the EtherCAT® cable.
3. Hook up the CB MC2 to the first or the first two interrupter(s) of the circuit breaker.
4. Connect the CB MC2 to the main contact of the circuit breaker with the delivered cables and clamps.
Tips & Tricks: The delivered Kelvin clamp is the perfect solution for connecting to a massive conductor
like a copper busbar or similar. If you cannot connect in this way, use the Kelvin clamp as a normal
current clamp only for current injection (6 mm connector) and use a separate crocodile clamp for
voltage sensing. Then connect the voltage sense closer to the circuit breaker contact than the current
clamp.
Because sometimes it is difficult to connect to the center point between two interrupters by using the
Kelvin clamp, one pair of Y-clamps is shipped with each CB MC2 module. With the Y-clamps you can
connect alternatively, even cutting through paint with the clamp. In this case connect the voltage sense
clamp on the other side of the central housing opposite to the current injection clamp.
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for all interrupters you want to test.
6. In Primary Test Manager, open the Contact Resistance test.

Data Description

I DC Measured test current
V DC Measured voltage
R meas Measured contact resistance
Assessment Measurement assessment
In case of one interrupter per phase, the groundings on both sides create a current path in parallel to the
main contact, and the resistance of this path results in a measurement error. By measuring twice, once
with the circuit breaker open and once with the circuit breaker closed, you can compensate the error
perfectly by calculating
RCB = (RBsgCBOpen × RBsgCBClosed)/(RBsgCBOpen – RBsgCBClosed),
where RCB is the contact resistance of the circuit breaker,
RBsgCBOpen is the resistance of the circuit breaker with both sides grounded, main contacts in open
position, and
RBsgCBClosed is the resistance of the circuit breaker with both sides grounded, main contacts in closed
position.
If the circuit breaker has an even number of interrupters per phase, the test is typically performed with
the circuit breaker grounded on both ends. In this case no compensation is needed because the voltages
of the two channels of each CB MC2 module cancel out each other which results in no current through
the ground loop. If only one side of a CB MC2 module is connected, it is a similar case to the circuit
breakers with one interrupter per phase described earlier in this section.
Tips & Tricks: The connection to the center point between two circuit breaker’s interrupters can be
tricky.If you are not sure whether the connection you have made is good, you can verify the connection
as follows. Perform a measurement with only channel 1, then a measurement with channel 2, and
finally a measurement with both channels. If the results match you have a perfect center point
connection. If the results do not match you either have a bad center connection or the effect of the
ground loop, that affects the result only when measuring asymmetrically, is too big.

Sequence Action
O With this sequence, the opening time of the circuit breaker is measured.
Only for O and C sequences we recommend performing the test twice, once
with nominal voltage and once with 20% undervoltage to assure the
functionality of the circuit breaker for a weak station battery.
C This is the sequence to measure the closing time of the circuit breaker.
OC With this sequence, a closing operation after the circuit breaker has tripped
to clear a fault is simulated.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. An open
command initiates the sequence, followed by a dead time to clear the fault;
and finally a close command must close the circuit breaker. This sequence
is also known as reclosing sequence. To find out the shortest reclosing time
the circuit breaker can provide, the close command is already applied while
the circuit breaker is still opening. The circuit breaker then will close after
opening as fast as possible.
CO With this sequence, a tripping operation after the circuit breaker has been
closed under a fault condition (trip-free) or the verification of the correct
operation of the anti-pumping system is simulated.
To test the trip-free time the circuit breaker must be in the open position
before the test is started. The circuit breaker is closed and then during the
close operation is still in progress an open command is sent. The circuit
breaker then opens as fast as possible.
To test the anti-pumping function of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker
must be in closed position before the test is started. For this test the open
time is set shorter (typically 200 ms) than the closing time (typically 400 ms).
Ensure that the end time is increased so that the test sequence covers the
whole close command duration (typically at least 190 ms). When the close
command is sent the circuit breaker is already closed which initiates the
anti-pumping function. Then an open command is sent and the circuit
breaker trips. The closing command is still on when the open command
ends, but the circuit breaker should not "pump", so that it should not close
again.
OMICRON 151
CIBANO 500 PTM User Manual
Sequence Action
O-CO With this sequence, a reclose sequence (OC) under a fault condition is
simulated. If the fault is not released, the circuit breaker must open (O)
immediately and remain in this position.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. The sequence
begins with an open command, after a dead time the close and open
commands (CO) must be applied at the same time (delay time typically
300 ms).
CO-CO Some circuit breakers have a different specification for the pause time

CIBANO 500 PTM User Manual
The following table explains the sequences of the Dynamic Contact Resistance test.
Sequence Action
O With this sequence, the opening time of the circuit breaker is measured.
Only for O and C sequences we recommend performing the test twice, once
with nominal voltage and once with 20% undervoltage to assure the
functionality of the circuit breaker for a weak station battery.
C This is the sequence to measure the closing time of the circuit breaker.
OC With this sequence, a closing operation after the circuit breaker has tripped
to clear a fault is simulated.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. An open
command initiates the sequence, followed by a dead time to clear the fault;
and finally a close command must close the circuit breaker. This sequence
is also known as reclosing sequence. To find out the shortest reclosing time
the circuit breaker can provide, the close command is already applied while
the circuit breaker is still opening. The circuit breaker then will close after
opening as fast as possible.
CO With this sequence, a tripping operation after the circuit breaker has been
closed under a fault condition (trip-free) or the verification of the correct
operation of the anti-pumping system is simulated.
To test the trip-free time the circuit breaker must be in the open position
before the test is started. The circuit breaker is closed and then during the
close operation is still in progress an open command is sent. The circuit
breaker then opens as fast as possible.
To test the anti-pumping function of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker
must be in closed position before the test is started. For this test the open
time is set shorter (typically 200 ms) than the closing time (typically 400 ms).
Ensure that the end time is increased so that the test sequence covers the
whole close command duration (typically at least 190 ms). When the close
command is sent the circuit breaker is already closed which initiates the
anti-pumping function. Then an open command is sent and the circuit
breaker trips. The closing command is still on when the open command
ends, but the circuit breaker should not "pump", so that it should not close
again.
162 OMICRON
Application
Sequence Action
O-CO With this sequence, a reclose sequence (OC) under a fault condition is
simulated. If the fault is not released, the circuit breaker must open (O)
immediately and remain in this position.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. The sequence
begins with an open command, after a dead time the close and open
commands (CO) must be applied at the same time (delay time typically
300 ms).
CO-CO Some circuit breakers have a different specification for the pause time
between CO and CO for CO-CO and O-CO-CO sequences. Therefore both
sequences are available for testing. The time between the two CO
subsequences shall be set according to the technical data of the circuit
breaker (typically 15000 ms).
O-CO-CO Some circuit breakers have a different specification for the pause time
between CO and CO for CO-CO and O-CO-CO sequences. Therefore both
sequences are available for testing. The time between the two CO
subsequences shall be set according to the technical data of the circuit
breaker (typically 15000 ms).

The following table explains the sequences of the Timing (GIS) test.
Sequence Action
O With this sequence, the opening time of the circuit breaker is measured.
Only for O and C sequences we recommend performing the test twice, once
with nominal voltage and once with 20% undervoltage to assure the
functionality of the circuit breaker for a weak station battery.
C This is the sequence to measure the closing time of the circuit breaker.
OC With this sequence, a closing operation after the circuit breaker has tripped
to clear a fault is simulated.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. An open
command initiates the sequence, followed by a dead time to clear the fault;
and finally a close command must close the circuit breaker. This sequence
is also known as reclosing sequence. To find out the shortest reclosing time
the circuit breaker can provide, the close command is already applied while
the circuit breaker is still opening. The circuit breaker then will close after
opening as fast as possible.
CO With this sequence, a tripping operation after the circuit breaker has been
closed under a fault condition (trip-free) or the verification of the correct
operation of the anti-pumping system is simulated.
To test the trip-free time the circuit breaker must be in the open position
before the test is started. The circuit breaker is closed and then during the
close operation is still in progress an open command is sent. The circuit
breaker then opens as fast as possible.
To test the anti-pumping function of the circuit breaker, the circuit breaker
must be in closed position before the test is started. For this test the open
time is set shorter (typically 200 ms) than the closing time (typically 400 ms).
Ensure that the end time is increased so that the test sequence covers the
whole close command duration (typically at least 190 ms). When the close
command is sent the circuit breaker is already closed which initiates the
anti-pumping function. Then an open command is sent and the circuit
breaker trips. The closing command is still on when the open command
ends, but the circuit breaker should not "pump", so that it should not close
again.
190 OMICRON
Application
Sequence Action
O-CO With this sequence, a reclose sequence (OC) under a fault condition is
simulated. If the fault is not released, the circuit breaker must open (O)
immediately and remain in this position.
Initially, the circuit breaker must be in the closed position. The sequence
begins with an open command, after a dead time the close and open
commands (CO) must be applied at the same time (delay time typically
300 ms).
CO-CO Some circuit breakers have a different specification for the pause time
between CO and CO for CO-CO and O-CO-CO sequences. Therefore both
sequences are available for testing. The time between the two CO
subsequences shall be set according to the technical data of the circuit
breaker (typically 15000 ms).
O-CO-CO Some circuit breakers have a different specification for the pause time
between CO and CO for CO-CO and O-CO-CO sequences. Therefore both
sequences are available for testing. The time between the two CO
subsequences shall be set according to the technical data of the circuit
breaker (typically 15000 ms).

17.4 Demagnetization
On circuit breakers like gas insulated switchgears (GIS), dead tank circuit breakers and hybrid circuit
breakers, current transformers are typically integrated in the main contact path. After each performed
test on the circuit breaker or due to DC components during a short circuit the current transformers might
be magnetized. This magnetism can be caused by DC currents flowing through the primary side of the
current transformer. The Demagnetization feature is designed to demagnetize the current transformers
from the primary side. Consequently, you do not need to disconnect the current transformers from the
secondary side.
The Demagnetization function as featured by CIBANO 500, needs to apply at least 30 A through the
primary side of the current transformer. If this cannot be assured, use the OMICRON CTAnalyzer instead
and demagnetize the current transformers from their secondary side.
Note: To check the maximum continuous output current of your CIBANO 500 test system, contact
OMICRON Technical Support (see "Support" on page 267).

3. Connect CIBANO 500 to the main contact of the circuit breaker according to the wiring diagram
displayed in Primary Test Manager.
Tips & Tricks: For easy connection use the delivered multi-core cables and connect the end with the
short wires to the CIBANO 500 sockets according to the short-wire labels. Connect the cable end with
the long wires according to the wiring diagram to the corresponding Kelvin clamp. The black AN cable
is not needed for this test and remains unconnected.
Tips & Tricks: The delivered Kelvin clamp is the perfect solution for connecting to a massive conductor
like a copper busbar or similar. We recommend using only the red connectors of the Kelvin clamps
(which is the current path) when connecting to the contact fingers of a circuit breaker. Use a separate
clamp for the voltage sense cables (BN and B4) which can be mounted closer to the circuit breaker
contact. If the connection is set up properly the resistance decreases when the voltage sense clamps
are connected closer to the circuit breaker contact. The polarity of connection does not matter for this
test.

This section describes how to use the transducers for measuring the circuit breaker’s contact travel with
CIBANO 500 and the related issues. The emphasis is on the attachment of the transducers to the circuit
breaker.
Motion measurements are a well proven and widely used method to assess the mechanical linkage of a
circuit breaker. To benefit from this method, you have to connect a travel sensor.
There are following options, priority-wise ordered:
1. Use the same connection point as used by the manufacturer during factory routine tests.
2. Use the same connection point as during the commissioning of the circuit breaker on site.
3. Connect the travel sensor as close to the main contacts as possible. However, do not touch the
integrity of the circuit breaker.
4. On a ganged operated circuit breaker – Pick the pole which is closest to the spring operating
mechanism.
18.1.1 Components
The following components are typically required to perform measurements by using the angular
transducer.

Extensions
Two types of extensions of length 100 mm and 50 mm are available to increase the range of the
articulating arm. The extensions can be inserted at either end of the articulating arm.
Couplings
Two types of couplings are available for the angular transducers: a flexible coupling and a coupling using
a drill chuck. The couplings are used to connect the shaft of the angular transducer to a rotating part of
the circuit breaker. The diameter of the hole of the flexible coupling is 10 mm, the drill chuck accepts
shafts with diameters between 0.8 mm and 10 mm.

The CAT level required depends on the CIBANO 500 application. All CAT ratings are defined for sea
levels below 2000 m. There are some limitations between 2000 m and 5000 m sea level.
CAT I is required when the measured voltage is generated by the test set itself. No voltages from other
sources are measured. When measuring on circuit breakers that are fully disconnected from the
substation installation CAT I would be sufficient.
