Measurement methods Off-service measurement methods Timing Coil/motor current Timing measurements according IEC 62271-100 are the most common tests, used to determine operation time, pole discrepancy or pre-insertion resistor timing. The test uses a resistance or voltage threshold to measure the timing. The resistance-based method with CB MC2 units allows tests on AIS with grounding on both sides. Records the current signature curve of the command coils during breaker operation. Deviations show possible electrical or mechanical defects of the trip or close control components. The motor...

In-service measurement methods First-trip test Voltage-based timing measurement (VTM) Off-service testing methods cannot show degradation accumulated during long idle times, such as degraded lubricants, contaminated surfaces or corroded mechanical elements, because the breaker needs to be operated at least once before an off-service test. VTM is the only measurement method available to measure the timing of a medium-voltage GIS, since the main contacts are sealed and cannot be accessed. The measurement methode can be applied to all circuit breakers with a voltage detection system (VDS) that...

Medium-voltage circuit breaker testing Safe and independent breaker operation Faster and easier testing CIBANO 500’s integrated AC/DC power supply enables faster and safer wiring set up. You don’t need to perform any connections to live DC circuits of the substation battery. This is especially beneficial when testing mediumvoltage breakers which must be completely disconnected and isolated from the substation. The constant output power during all tests guarantees reproducible test results. With CIBANO 500’s 3-in-1 approach you only need to transport one device to the test site and then wire...

Voltage-based timing measurement (VTM) VTM allows in-service timing measurements on MV SF6 CBs. The tests are performed via the secondary contacts of a built-in inductive or capacitive VT. Common tests Motion as timing trigger >> Static contact resistance CIBANO 500 can measure the mechanical operation time of a circuit breaker without close coil by using the point in time when the circuit breaker contact begins to move as the starting time for the measurement. >> Coil current analysis >> Under-voltage condition >> Motion/contact travel Under-voltage release test Medium voltage circuit...

High-voltage live-tank circuit breaker testing Safe and independent breaker operation CIBANO 500’s integrated AC/DC power supply lets you directly operate the breaker (for example, during commissioning tests). You don’t need to perform any connections to live DC circuits of the substation battery which makes wiring safer and faster. The constant output power during all tests guarantees reproducible test results. CIBANO 500 can test all performance-, motion-, as well as coil and motor-related parameters of high-voltage livetank breakers with the same test setup. The connection to the breaker...

Measuring large breakers By using EtherCAT®-communication, the number of measuring channels can be extended to any number needed by very large or specially designed circuit breakers (for example, large breakers with independent pole operation). Common tests >> Timing >> Static contact resistance >> Dynamic contact resistance test Synchronous timing measurement During timing tests on high-voltage live-tank circuit breakers, CIBANO 500 synchronously assesses the timing of all main contacts, auxiliary contacts, and pre-insertion resistors. It measures the differences between the fastest and...

High-voltage dead-tank circuit breaker testing One device for most electrical tests Safe and independent operation CIBANO 500’s 3-in-1 approach combines a timing and travel analyzer, a micro-ohm (µΩ) meter, and a coil and motor supply within one device. CIBANO 500’s integrated AC/DC power supply lets you directly operate the breaker, e.g. during commissioning. You don’t need to perform any connections to live DC circuits of the substation battery which makes wiring safer and faster. The constant output power during all tests guarantees reproducible test results. As a result you can perform...

First-trip test The First trip test is carried out while the breaker is still in service. The signature of the measured trip coil current gives an indication of the tripping function. The opening times are measured by monitoring the CTs’ secondary current. Common tests >> Timing >> First trip >> Static contact resistance Dynamic contact resistance test During this test, CIBANO 500 and the optional CB MC2 modules, record the contact resistance value during circuit breaker operation and deliver information about wearrelated problems with main and arcing contacts. >> Dynamic contact resistance...

Gas-insulated switchgear (GIS) testing One test setup for all tests Both sides grounded CIBANO 500 can test all performance-, motion-, as well as coil and motor-related parameters of GIS breakers with the same test setup. The connection to the breaker only needs to be done once. With the optional CB MC2 modules, this can save a lot of testing time, as conventional measuring devices require this wiring to be done at least twice. The current sensor measurement method (CSM) allows timing measurements on a GIS breaker with both sides grounded. CSM measures the operating times of the breaker...
