Introduction
3 Introduction
3.1 Designated use
CIBANO 500, in conjunction with its accessories or as stand-alone unit, is a test system for
commissioning and maintenance of circuit breakers. The following tests can be performed using
CIBANO 500 according to IEC and ANSI standards:
• Main contact resistance measurement (µΩ meter)
• Minimum pick-up voltage measurement of trip and close coils
• Motor current and voltage
• Main and resistive contact timing measurement
• Sending trip and close commands to perform different operations:
– Open (O)
–Close (C)
–Reclose (OC)
– Trip-free (CO)
– Autoreclose (O-CO)
–CO-CO
–O-CO-CO
• Main contact dynamic resistance measurement enabling users to perform the operations listed earlier
in this section
• Along with timing and dynamic resistance measurements, the following measurements can be
included:
– Trip and close coil current and voltage
– Test of under voltage trip function
– Main contact travel
CIBANO 500 operates only when connected to an external computer through an Ethernet connection.
By using the Primary Test Manager software, you can define, parametrize, and execute various, partly
automated tests.
3.2 Connections and operating controls
