CMC 500 – Setting a New Benchmark in Protection Testing #92

In this episode of Energy Talks, we talk about the development of the CMC 500 – OMICRON’s new modular, multi-phase protection relay test set and commissioning tool. This groundbreaking device provides a versatile solution to current and future challenges in protection testing and sets a new industry benchmark.

Which challenges do utilities face? How do you develop a test set that covers heterogeneous requirements in the best possible way – and yet is still conveniently compact and lightweight for use on site? How can cybersecurity and work safety be incorporated into the design from the ground up?
To answer these questions, Stephan Geiger, CMC 500 Product Manager and Product Management Lead at OMICRON, provides an insight into the development of this next-generation solution for protection testing.
