- The Omicron CPC 100 is a universal primary injection test system designed for the commissioning and maintenance of electrical assets in substations, replacing multiple individual devices with a single multifunctional unit. The CPC 100 provides adjustable outputs of up to 800 A or 2000 V with up to 5 kVA of power across a wide frequency range (15 Hz to 400 Hz), as well as 400 A in direct current, allowing it to perform a variety of diagnostic tests on power transformers, current and voltage transformers, circuit breakers, rotating machinery, lines, and grounding systems. Its compact design (approximately 29 kg) and the ability to operate both from the front panel and via the Primary Test Manager (PTM) software facilitate complex field testing with integrated data management and automatic report generation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What types of tests can the CPC 100 perform?
The CPC 100 allows you to primary injection tests standard and advanced, including tests on current transformers (CTs), voltage transformers (VT), power transformers, circuit breakers, rotating machines, lines and cables, and grounding systems; all with both AC and DC output and higher capacities through the use of additional amplifiers.
What is the advantage of variable frequency in CPC 100 testing?
The CPC 100 offers an adjustable frequency range between 15 Hz y 400 Hz, which makes it easier to eliminate interference from the power grid and improves measurement accuracy, especially when measuring small signals or working in electromagnetically noisy environments.
What output capabilities does the CPC 100 have, and how can they be expanded?
As standard, the CPC 100 delivers up to 800 A or 2000 V AC with up to 5 kVA, y 400 A DC. With additional amplifier modules (such as the CP CB2 or voltage amplifiers), you can achieve up to 2000 A or 12–15 kV, expanding its use to high-demand tests on transformers and other equipment.
How is test data managed and reported?
The device can be operated from the integrated front panel or using the software tool Primary Test Manager™ (PTM) on a laptop, which allows automate testing, view results in real time, compare them to regulatory limits, and generate comprehensive reports with diagrams and tables after completing the measurements.
What safety features does the CPC 100 include for field use?
The CPC 100 features a variety of safety mechanisms, such as overload detector, automatic ground check, isolated outputs, safety lock switch, and emergency shut-off button, providing protection for both the operator and the asset under test during high-energy tests.
