The OMICRON CIBANO 500 is a multifunctional “3-in-1” testing system designed to comprehensively evaluate medium and high voltage power breakers, combining a high-precision digital micro-ohmmeter, a timing and synchronism analyzer, and an integrated power supply for coils and motors. This unique platform allows all essential power breaker tests to be performed, even when substation batteries are not available, reducing wiring effort and setup time by up to 50% compared to traditional methods. The CIBANO 500 is used for offline testing in AIS and GIS substations, providing clear, combined reports of all measurements through the Primary Test Manager™ (PTM) software and the included CBTL test library.
Frequently Asked Questions
What functions does the CIBANO 500 integrate into a single device?
El CIBANO 500 combines three essential functions for testing power switches:
Micro-ohmmeter to measure static and dynamic contact resistance,
Synchronization and operation time analyzer,
Integrated AC/DC power supply for coils and motors, allowing most tests to be carried out even without a substation battery.
What types of switches is the CIBANO 500 suitable for?
This system is compatible with medium and high voltage power switches, including live tank, dead tank, and GIS configurations, which makes it versatile for out-of-service testing in a wide range of substation applications.
What advantages does your connection technology offer compared to conventional methods?
The CIBANO 500's single-connection technology considerably reduces wiring effort and the time required to set up the test — up to 50% less preparation time in many cases — allowing complete tests to be carried out more efficiently and safely.
How does the Primary Test Manager™ (PTM) software facilitate testing with CIBANO 500?
The Primary Test Manager™ (PTM) software integrated with the CIBANO 500 allows you to conveniently manage all tests from a unified interface, run automated routines, and generate combined and clear reports that consolidate the results of resistance, synchronization, and other parameters, improving data traceability and analysis.
What typical measurements can be performed with the CIBANO 500 during switch tests?
With the CIBANO 500, it is possible to carry out, among others:
Measurement of static and dynamic contact resistance,
Analysis of synchronized firing and closing times,
Coil and motor current measurements,
Tests of conditions such as undervoltage or minimum startup,
Synchronization with both sides of the switch connected to ground.
