Full validation of your protection system Two powerful testing paradigms allow you to examine your protection system from completely different angles. This enables the unveiling of issues that would otherwise remain undetected. Test each individual relay parameter in incredible detail with Test Universe and assess the behavior of your protection system in a realistic grid simulation with RelaySimTest. PARAMETER-BASED TESTING Use Test Universe to examine all the key parameters in your protection relay in detail. You can either create new test plans from scratch or conveniently import...

SYSTEM-BASED TESTING System-based testing with RelaySimTest enables full validation of your protection system and gives you an efficient way of pinpointing logic or design errors. No matter the complexity of your protection systems, whether they are located Validate your protection system > Simulate your system with realistic test scenarios > Variation of injection and load ratios > Switching operations > Breaker failures > Dynamic fault simulation > Test quantities adapted in response to the reaction of the protection system (Iterative Closed-Loop) > Carry out distributed tests involving...

Cybersecurity by design It’s crucial to ensure the test sets do not serve as a gateway for cyber attacks, thus guaranteeing the security of your critical infrastructure. This is particularly important if the testing solutions are connected to your substation network. The CMC 500 impedes cyber attacks on your installation based on a wide range of security measures that we have integrated in the development from the very start. Continuous protection Broad package of measures The CMC 500 is the first protection test set that comes with a secure cryptoprocessor built in. We followed the...

Maximum user safety Protection testers working in substations are exposed to an increased risk of electrical threats. Don’t leave your team’s safety to chance. The CMC 500 represents a new industry standard in user safety. A multi-stage safety concept minimizes electrical hazards to the greatest possible extent. We developed the system in line with internationally established standards in the field of functional safety (ISO 13849-1). Multi-staged safety Guided test execution The CMC 500 outputs test signals only when the INTERLOCK key is plugged in and after pressing the operational mode...

Versatile solution A reliably functioning protection system requires a proper interacting of all involved assets to clear a fault. The instrument transformers and circuit breakers also need to function properly and be correctly wired to the protection relay. In addition to protection testing, the versatile CMC 500 makes it easy to analyze these assets and provides comprehensive troubleshooting tools for initial commissioning and recommissioning. Thanks to current amplitudes of up to 450 A, the entire signal path can be verified using primary injection. The CMC 500 is also suitable for...
