Have you got everything?
Protection testers often worry about forgetting essential equipment when heading to a substation. It's frustrating to drive for hours only to realize you’ve left behind a critical piece of your test equipment. Additionally, once on-site, situations rarely go according to plan.
This is where the CMC 500 excels, since it contains so many tools. While it may be a protection relay test set at its core, it’s undoubtedly the most versatile of its kind. With the capability of delivering current amplitudes of up to 450 A, the entire signal path can be verified with primary injection. The protection system can be tested either with parameter-based or system-based methods. Additionally, this compact test set effortlessly tests protection relays from various generations, circuit breakers, and current transformers. The CMC 500’s comprehensive range of accessories also make it perfect for specialized testing applications, such as relays with sensor inputs. In fact, this single device makes nearly everything possible – from performing signal analysis to troubleshoot system issues during commissioning or after false trips, to enabling quick wiring checks via an app and fully automated three-winding tests with standardization.
Years of development went into condensing this much complexity into a compact, easy-to-use solution. We didn’t want to create a tool that only highly trained professionals could use. Instead, the CMC 500 was designed to be used by technicians of all skill levels.
This means the CMC 500 is the only device technicians will need for a wide range of tests in the protection chain. They won't have to grapple with multiple user interfaces, and employers will benefit from reduced training and acquisition costs and simplified maintenance management.
