	2in1 – Electrical Diagnostic Testing of Power Transformers & Circuit Breakers

Summary

Get to know the CIBANO 500 and the measurement principles for circuit breakers. Learn how to perform efficient circuit breaker tests in hands-on and theoretical sessions. Simplify your tests with the PTM (Primary Test Manager). 

Objectives

• Perform commissioning, troubleshooting and periodic tests of different types of circuit breakers
• Carry out all relevant circuit breaker tests with one single test setup by using optional accessories
• Perform straightforward assessment circuit breaker parameters with reference results

 

Content

• Typical reasons for failure of circuit breakers
• Reasons for maintenance and testing of different MV and HV circuit breakers
• Overview about different types of MV and HV (live-tank, dead-tank and GIS) breakers and its components
• Comparison of conventional vs. time-efficient circuit breaker testing with CIBANO 500
• Typical tests on MV and HV circuit breakers such as static contact and dynamic resistance measurement (DRM), timing tests for main/auxiliary contacts and pre-insertion resistors, minimum pick-up tests, coil and motor current, contact travel (motion) of main contacts
• Safely perform timing tests on Gas Insulated Switchgears (GIS) with both-sides grounded using Current Sensor Measurement (CSM) method
• Automatic test execution of comprehensive circuit breaker tests with CIBANO 500 and Primary Test Manager (PTM)
• Evaluation of the measurement results by means of practical examples
• Analyzing case studies of most common defects on various circuit breakers
