Preface
DANGER!
CPC 100 should only be used in a safe manner, mindful of the dangers while
paying attention to the Reference Manual, and when it is in a technically
sound condition and when its use is in accordance with the regulations. In
particular, avoid disruptions that could in turn affect safety.
If you have a cardiac pacemaker, do not use CPC 100! Before operating
CPC 100, make sure there is no person with a cardiac pacemaker in the
immediate vicinity.
CPC 100 is exclusively intended for the application fields specified in detail
in Designated Use on page 1-13.
Any other use is deemed not to be according to the regulations. The
manufacturer/distributor is not liable for damage resulting from improper
usage. The user alone assumes all responsibility and risk.
Orderly Measures
Personnel assigned to use CPC 100 should carefully read the Reference
Manual - in particular this section on safety instructions - before beginning to
work with it. On principle this also applies to personnel who only occasionally
work with CPC 100.
1-5
Testing with CPC 100 should only be carried out by authorized and qualified
personnel. Clearly establish the responsibilities!
Safe Operation
When setting CPC 100 into operation, follow the instructions in Putting
CPC 100 into Operation on page 2-46.

If you have a cardiac pacemaker, do not use CPC 100! Before operating
CPC 100, make sure there is no person with a cardiac pacemaker in the
immediate vicinity.
Never use CPC 100 without a solid connection to ground with at least 6mm.
Use a ground point as close as possible to the test object.
Power Supply
1-6
Supply CPC 100 only from a power outlet that has protective earth (PE).
Instead of supplying CPC 100 from phase - neutral (L1-N, A-N), it may also
be supplied from phase - phase (e.g., L1-L2; A-B). However, the voltage
must not exceed 240V AC.
Preface
If the power supply is 190V AC, CPC 100 cannot provide the full output
power at the 800A AC output.
The same applies when an external current booster is used. Therefore, in
order to gain the full output power, provide a sufficient power supply
(190V ... 240V AC).
Caution: The connector "Ext. Booster" is always galvanically connected to
mains, regardless whether or not an external booster is selected on
the software tab Options | Device Setup, the green warning
warning light (0) is on, the outputs are turned off or the Emergency
Stop button is pressed.
Handle with extreme caution. Do not use any other booster cables
than the ones supplied by OMICRON.
General
Even if you switched off CPC 100, wait until the red I/O warning
light is fully extinguished.
As long as this warning light is lit, there is still voltage and/or
current potential on one or more of the outputs.
Make sure that a test objects terminals that are to be connected to CPC 100
do not carry any voltage potential. During a test, the only power source for a
test object may be CPC 100.
Do not insert objects (e.g., screwdrivers, etc.) into any input/output socket.
Never use the test cards Quick and Resistance to measure the resistance
of windings with a high inductance because turning off the DC source results
in life-threatening voltage levels.
For this kind of measurement only use the special winding resistance test
card RWinding!
1-7
When measuring the ratio of voltage and power transformers make sure that
the test voltage is connected to the corresponding primary winding, and the
voltage of the secondary winding is the one that is measured. Accidentally
mixing up the windings can generate life-threatening voltages within the
transformer.
For example: feeding a voltage of 100V/ 3 to the secondary winding of a
voltage transformer that has a ratio of 400000V/ 3 : 100V/ 3, induces a
voltage of 400000V/ 3 in the transformers primary winding.
Make sure that when testing a current transformer by feeding a test current
into its primary winding, all secondary windings are shorted. On open
secondary windings, life-threatening voltages can be induced!
1-8
Preface
All AC and DC output sockets of CPC 100 can carry life-hazardous voltage
potential and provide life-hazardous currents. Therefore:
While connecting cables to the CPC 100 high-voltage or high-current
outputs or other conducting parts that are not protected against accidental
contact, press the Emergency Stop button, and keep it pressed as long
as an output signal is not absolutely necessary for the test.
When connecting to the front panel input/output sockets, use wires with
either 4 mm safety "banana" connectors and plastic housing or, where
applicable, with the especially manufactured counterpart supplied by
OMICRON electronics (e.g., for the V2 AC measuring input).
For the high-voltage and high-current output connectors on the left-hand
side of the test set (2kV AC, 400A DC and 800A AC, ext. Booster), only
use the specially manufactured cables supplied by OMICRON electronics
(refer to Cables on page 16-15).
One end of the high-voltage cable has a coaxial safety plug that is
certified for a voltage level of 2kV AC. The other end is equipped with a
safety banana plug that is insulated with a shrink tube.
When CPC 100 is switched on consider this part of the cable a
hazard of electric shock!
If you do not use the high-current 400A DC or 800A AC outputs or the
high-voltage 2kV AC output, disconnect any cable that may be plugged
in to these sockets.
The 400A DC or 800A AC outputs are not switched off by internal
relays. Therefore, if a test mode is selected that does not use either
one of these two outputs, they still generate current.
Do not stand right next to or directly underneath a connection point
because the clamps may fall off and touch you.
This is a physical and an electrical hazard.
The red warning light on the CPC 100 front panel indicates hazardous
voltage and/or current levels at the CPC 100 outputs (red light "I" on or
flashing). The green warning light indicates that the CPC 100 outputs are
not activated.
Note: If none or both warning lights are on, the unit is defective and
must not be used anymore.
Both of the high-current output sockets on the left-hand side of the test set
(400A DC and 800A AC) usually carry a relatively low-voltage potential.
1-9
Do not operate CPC 100 under ambient conditions that exceed the
temperature and humidity limits listed at Technical Data on page 15-1.
If CPC 100 or any add-on device or accessory does not seem to function
properly, do not use it anymore. Please call the OMICRON hotline.
1 - 10
Preface
Changing Fuses
Turn off CPC 100, unplug the power cord and/or press the Emergency Stop
button.
We recommend to wait for about 30 seconds. This time is necessary for the
internal electrolytic capacitors to fully discharge.
Ground the test object, and disconnect it from CPC 100. By disconnecting it
you prevent a possibly faulty test object feeding power back into CPC 100.
Locate the blown fuse on the front panel of CPC 100, and replace it:
6.3A T (6.3 Amps slow-acting wire fuse 5x20mm) for AC OUTPUT in 6A
operation mode1 or for DC OUTPUT.
3.15A T (3.15 Amps slow-acting wire fuse 5x20mm) for AC OUTPUT in
130V operation mode.
10A FF (10 Amps very-quick-acting wire fuse 5x20mm) for measuring
inputs.
Note: Replace with identical fuse type only.
1. For detailed information about the difference between the 6A and the 130V operation mode refer
to Functional Components of CPC 100 on page 2-2.
1 - 11
This is due to a new standard and does not symbolize any functional difference.
Note:
1 - 12
Both symbols mean exactly the same, i.e., protective earth (PE) or
equipotential ground.
Preface
Designated Use
CPC 100, in conjunction with its accessories or as a stand-alone unit, is a multipurpose primary test set for commissioning and maintaining substation
equipment. It performs current transformer (CT), voltage transformer (VT) and
power transformer (TR) tests. Furthermore it is used for contact and winding
resistance testing, polarity checks as well as primary and secondary protection
relay testing.
The various, partly automated tests are defined and parameterized via the front
panel control of a built-in ePC ( Glossary).

Built-in ePC
The built-in ePC ( Glossary) of CPC 100 runs under Microsoft Windows CE
operating system and provides front panel control.
This section provides a brief overview of the front panel control components.
Section How to Use the CPC 100 Software on page 17 of this chapter
describes in detail how to work with the front panel control components, how to
set up a test, execute it and save it for later use.
Via the built-in ePC, CPC 100 can be accessed from a stand-alone PC, e.g., a
notebook, via a PC network and via the Internet (refer to CPC 100 in a Network
in chapter 11).

Introduction
LCD monitor
The monitor is a high-contrast gray-scale graphical LCD display with a resolution
of 320x240 pixels.
Accelerator keys
Let you add the test card of your choice, e.g., Quick, CT, VT... etc. (refer to
Accelerator Keys on page 22 of this chapter).
View Selector
Lets you select the view of your choice, e.g., Test Card View, Test Procedure
Overview, File Operations or Options (refer to View Selector on page 21 of this
chapter).
Jog-dial handwheel
Advanced jog-dial handwheel with "click" (E N T E R ) function.
In "navigation" mode, turning the handwheel navigates you through the UI
( Glossary) elements within one test card. Pressing the U P / D O W N keys
has the same effect.
In "data entry" mode, i.e., if the focus ( Glossary) is set onto a data entry field
or a combo box, and the handwheel was pressed to "enter" the field and to
enable data entry, turning the handwheel increases/decreases the entry fields
value or browses through the preset values of the combo box, respectively.
Pressing the handwheel corresponds to the E N T E R function of the soft-touch
keyboard.
Furthermore, the wheel comprises an adaptive acceleration function, i.e., if the
focus is, for example, set onto a data entry field, fast turning increments/
decrements a value in increasingly bigger steps, slow turning in decreasingly
smaller steps.
U P / D O W N keys
Soft-touch keys supplementing the handwheel. Depending on the current focus
in the software user interface, pressing these keys either navigates through the
UI elements within one test card, or - if in a data entry field, for example increments/decrements a value.
Contrary to the handwheel, the U P / D O W N keys change a value in fixed
coarse increments /decrements in order to ease a quick approximation to the
end value. The fine adjustment is then done with the handwheel.
2 - 15
Stopping a test does not shut off the CPC 100 outputs
instantaneously. First, the currently running test sequence finishes,
then the test execution is stopped.
Most test cards finish the running test sequence with a predefined
ramp function.
Therefore, in a hazardous situation never press "Stop Test". Instead,
use Emergency Stop.
Tab selector
If a test procedure comprises more than one test card, use these keys to change
between the single test cards.

Introduction
This manual refers to the CPC 100 software version V 1.4. Information
about the software version of your CPC 100 can be found at the
Options tab System Info (refer to System Info on page 41 of this
chapter).
Test cards
The CPC 100 software comprises a number of test cards. A test card carries
out one specific test, e.g., measuring a CT excitation curve, or testing the
ratio of a voltage transformer.
A test card holds a number of user-definable test settings and - after the test
was run - test results.
2 - 17
Test procedure
A test procedure contains multiple test cards.
The composition of such a test procedure and the settings of all single test
cards can be freely defined by the user. Within a test procedure, each test
card and its associated test is executed individually in a user-defined order.
Note:
With the CPC 100 V0, the number of test cards in one test
procedure should be limited to 15 to avoid memory problems. The CPC 100
V1 allows using more test cards in one test procedure but we recommend not
to use more than 15 test cards to keep the tests clearly structured.
Report
For archiving or reporting purposes, or later processing, a test procedure with
all of its test cards, specific settings and - after the test was run - test results
and assessments can be saved. It is then considered a report.
Such a report can later be opened any time in CPC 100 File Operations
menu.

Due to usability reasons, some test cards, such as Winding Resistance, Voltage
Withstand Test or Polarity Check, appear in more than one test mode, e.g.,
Winding Resistance appears in Current Transformer, Power Transformer
and Resistance.
With regard to their functionality, these test cards are identical.
To expand a collapsed group of tests
, e.g., CT, set the focus onto this
group, and press E N T E R or the handwheel.
The group of tests expands and displays all of its associated test
cards.
Browse to the test card of your choice, and when its highlighted press
ENTER.
This will switch from the Insert a new test card dialog to the Test Card View,
inserting the test card of your choice after the last selected test card in the Test
Card View.
Note:
You can insert as many test cards as needed and of all types of your choice by
repeating this process.
Note:
With the CPC 100 V0, the number of test cards in one test procedure
should be limited to 15 to avoid memory problems. The CPC 100 V1
allows using more test cards in one test procedure but we recommend
not to use more than 15 test cards to keep the tests clearly structured.
If you need more test cards in one test procedure, we recommend not
to save all cards in one, e.g., the test procedure default, but to combine
a smaller number of cards to logical groups, and to save these logical
groups as test procedure templates with individual names (refer to
Test Procedure Templates on page 45 of this chapter).
Pressing E S C closes Insert a new test card, and brings you back to the
previous view without inserting a new test card.

Introduction
As shown above, the value itself is highlighted, the unit is not, and at the values
end a blinking caret (cursor) indicates "ready for data entry".
Now either
use the U P / D O W N keys to approximate the value of your choice quickly in
coarse predefined steps
rotate the handwheel to fine-adjust the value in precision steps
type in the value of your choice using the numeric soft-touch keys to the left
of the handwheel (refer to figure17).

press the handwheel (to "enter" the combo box for selection)
and either navigate through the list of available parameters by rotating the
handwheel, or by using the U P / D O W N keys.
Pressing E S C while scrolling through the list of values closes the combo box
and returns to the previous value.
Check Box
Set the focus onto the check box, e.g.,
and press either the
E N T E R key or the handwheel to select /clear a check box.

Introduction
List Box
Figure 18:
Example of a list box
List boxes are differentiated between read-only and editable list boxes:
In a read-only list box (figure 18), turning the handwheel scrolls from line to
line.
When using the U P / D O W N keys, a read-only list box is treated as one UI
element, i.e., pressing one of the keys exits the list box, and sets the focus
onto the next /previous UI element.
In an editable list box, turning the handwheel scrolls from table cell to table
cell. Press either the handwheel or E N T E R to "enter" a cell and to edit the
value.
When using the U P / D O W N keys, the focus proceeds to the same table cell
one line above or below.
2 - 27
Settings Page
Some test cards include the S E T T I N G S menu key. Pressing the S E T T I N G S
menu key opens the Settings page.
Figure 19:
Main page with
SETTINGS menu key
The Settings page with the exception of the TRRatio test card looks as shown
below.
Figure 20:
Settings page
The Settings page allows setting the test cards individually. At the
Device Setup tab in the Options view (see Options on page 33 of this
chapter), the same properties can be set for all test cards of a test procedure.
As a rule, do not use the Settings page described here but the Device Setup
tab in the Options view to set the test cards. Making different settings for the
test cards is rarely a good idea. Set the test cards individually using the Settings
page only in well-founded cases.
If a test card contains results, the settings cannot be changed. When a file
containing results is loaded, the Settings page can be used to view the settings
of the test procedure.
2 - 28
Introduction
Starting a Test
Note:
Tests can only be started and stopped with the I/O (test start/stop)
push-button while in the Test Card View.
Each test card represents a separate test, and is started individually.
Stopping a test does not shut off the CPC 100 outputs
instantaneously. First, the currently running test sequence finishes,
then the test execution is stopped.
Most test cards finish the running test sequence with a predefined
ramp function.
Therefore, in an emergency situation never press "Stop Test".
Instead, use Emergency Stop.
While a test is running, several functions such as changing the test card,
changing the view etc., are disabled.
To repeat the test, the test results need to be cleared beforehand. Otherwise the
start is blocked.
2 - 29
Temperature Monitoring
Each test card contains a progress bar-like temperature gauge that displays
CPC 100 actual temperature condition. When the temperature limit is reached,
i.e., before an overheating condition occurs, the output is switched off
automatically.
In addition, if an output is activated both CPC 100 current consumption from the
power supply and the current emitted at the high-current outputs is monitored
and, together with the temperature, displayed by this temperature gauge. The
temperature gauges bar therewith represents an indicator for the remaining
time CPC 100 can output power.
Just as with over-temperature, if these limit values are exceeded the output is
switched off automatically.
With deactivated outputs, the temperature gauges bar represents an indicator
how much the device has already cooled off.
Note:
To reach a maximum output time, we suggest to let CPC 100 cool off
completely before switching it on again.
Note:
2 - 30
Introduction
The Test Procedure Overview lists all test cards of the currently active test
procedure in a list box showing the cards name, its creation date and time,
whether test results are available and the test cards assessment status.
Pressing I N S E R T C A R D switches to the Insert a new test card dialog. After
inserting a new test card, the software automatically switches to the Test Card
View, inserting the test card of your choice after the last selected test card in the
Test Card View.
Pressing E S C at Insert a new test card brings you back to the previous view
without inserting a new test card.
D E L E T E C A R D deletes the currently highlighted test card from the test
procedure.
With S A V E A S D E F A U L T , Test Procedure Overview provides a function to
save the current test procedure as the test procedure default, i.e., that default
the CPC 100 software will start with in future.
To learn more about defaults, refer to section Creating Defaults and Templates
on page 42 of this chapter.
Unlike in Test Card View, where all context-dependent menu keys apply for that
particular card only, the Test Procedure Overview has an additional menu item
that applies for all test cards: whereas C L E A R R E S U L T S clears the test results
of the currently highlighted test card only (in figure 21 thats "Comment"),
C L E A R A L L R E S U L T S applies to all test cards, i.e., clears the results of all
cards listed in the Test Procedure Overview.
After both C L E A R R E S U L T S and C L E A R A L L R E S U L T S , re-start the test in
the Test Card View by pressing the I/O (test start/stop) push-button.
2 - 31
Automatically switches back to the Test Card View, and opens the test
procedure default. If the current test procedure contains unsaved data, you will
be asked whether or not you want to save them before you proceed.
File Operations
The CPC 100 File Operations resemble the functionality known from the
Windows Explorer. File Operations comprises a F I L E and an E D I T submenu
with additional menu items as well as an O P E N and various S A V E . . . functions.
The highest hierarchical level of the CPC 100 file system, the "root", is named
CPC 100. Below this, you can create additional folders in a tree-structure of your
choice, save tests in these folders, and carry out file operations, such as open,
save, rename, copy, paste etc. For CPC 100 V1 units with a USB memory stick
plugged in, a second tree root USB Disk is displayed as shown above.
The CPC 100 file system differentiates two file types:
name.xml A test procedure with all of its test cards and specific settings.
An .xml file may also contain test results and assessments that
were stored together with the settings as report in the CPC 100
file system for archiving purposes.
name.xmt Test procedure template, i.e., a user-defined template
containing one or more test cards with all of their specific test
settings but without test results.
For a detailed description of the CPC 100 File Operations refer to File
Operations in chapter 9.

Introduction
Options
Note:
Changes made in the Options view are automatically saved when the
view is changed (e.g., when Options is left to change to Test Card
View).
Alternatively changes can be saved instantly by pressing S A V E
OPTIONS.
At a power supply loss or an accidental switching off of CPC 100,
unsaved changes are lost, and the old values are restored.
Device Setup
The Device Setup tab in the Options view allows you to change the settings of
all test cards of the test procedure running on CPC 100 and all test cards
inserted afterwards. The test cards can be instantiated in different ways and for
different purposes. Table 1: Instantiation procedures below displays the
instantiation procedures and the associated default values.
Table 1:
Instantiation procedures
Procedure
Default values
Because the settings of a test card containing results cannot be changed, the
settings made at the Device Setup tab in the Options view apply only to new
test cards if the currently loaded procedure contains results. To change the
settings of a test procedure containing results (e.g. after pressing the K E E P
R E S U L T S menu key or after loading a file), clear the results by pressing the
C L E A R R E S U L T S menu key in all test cards before setting the test procedure
in the Options view.
It is strongly recommended to set the test cards using the Options view. In wellfounded cases, you can set alternatively a test card individually using the
S E T T I N G S menu key (see Settings Page on page 28 of this chapter).

When an input is not connected to the device under test directly but using a
current clamp, a CT or a VT, the ratio of these devices can be set here.
The "Clamp & input transformer settings" group box displays and, if required,
allows you to change settings for external devices:
Per default, the transformation ratios of the current and voltage transformers for
the selected external device are preset. For the default value associated with
different instantiation procedures, see Table 1: Instantiation procedures on
page 33.

After CPC 100 has been rebooted, the "Disable ground check" check
is cleared for safety reasons.
Default freq.
The "Default freq." data entry field allows you to enter the default frequency. For
the default value associated with different instantiation procedures, see
Instantiation procedures on page 33 of this chapter.
Auto Save
As the name implies, the "Auto Save" feature automatically saves the current
test settings in fixed intervals. These intervals can be set in the Auto Save box.
There are three time intervals available (10, 30 or 60 minutes), and the option
OFF that disables Auto Save.
Auto Save saves all actual data to a file named lastmeas.xml. So depending
on the set time interval, in case of a system crash, lastmeas.xml may contain
more actual data than you last manually saved test. The file is created during the
next booting process.
When Auto Save saves test settings, it pops up a dialog notifying you about it.
Auto Save works in Test Procedure Overview, File Operations or Options
without any restrictions. In Test Card View, Auto Save does not work as long as
a test is running, or as long as inputs are measured (e.g., in Quick).
In a case like this, Auto Save repeats the attempt to save the test settings in
intervals of minute until it succeeds, i.e., until the test is finished and it can save
the data. After this, Auto Save returns to the set time interval.

During operation, CPC 100 creates a log file with a user-definable logging level
(see below).
Every time CPC 100 is switched on, it generates a new log file, and saves the
existing one as the "previous" log file. This way, the occurrences of the previous
and the current session can be viewed (refer to Viewing the log file on page 1211).

Introduction
With the CPC 100 V0, the number of test cards in one test procedure
should be limited to 15 to avoid memory problems. The CPC 100 V1
allows using more test cards in one test procedure but we recommend
not to use more than 15 test cards to keep the tests clearly structured.
If you need more test cards in one test procedure, we recommend not
to save all cards in one, e.g., the test procedure default, but to combine
a smaller number of cards to logical groups, and to save these logical
groups as test procedure templates with individual names (refer to
Test Procedure Templates on page 45 of this chapter).
In the CPC 100 file system, the test procedure default is not visible as a "file"
(refer to The CPC 100 File System in chapter 9).

Introduction
2 - 45
Before setting CPC 100 into operation and carrying out a test, it is
essential that you have read and understood the section Safety
Instructions for CPC 100 and its Accessories on page 1-5.
Always be aware that all AC and DC output sockets of CPC 100 can
carry life-hazardous voltage potential and provide life-hazardous
currents.
Safety Aspects
We strongly advise you to obey the following legal safety aspects:
Tests with such high voltages and currents must only be carried out by
authorized and qualified personnel.
Personnel receiving training, instructions, directions, or education on highvoltage/current tests should remain under the constant supervision of an
experienced operator while working with the equipment. The instructions
have to be renewed at least once per year.
The instructions must be available in written form and signed by each person
assigned to do high-voltage/current tests.
Preparations in Substation
Prior to connecting a test object to CPC 100, the following steps need to be
carried out by an authorized employee of the utility.
Turn off and disconnect the high voltage from the test object.
Protect yourself and your working environment against an accidental reconnection of high voltage by other persons and circumstances.
Verify a safe isolation of the test object.
Earth-connect and shorten out the test objects terminals using a grounding
set.
Protect yourself and your working environment with a suitable protection
against other (possibly live) circuits.
Protect others from accessing the dangerous area and accidentally touching
live parts by setting up a suitable barrier and, if applicable, warning lights.
If there is a longer distance between the location of CPC 100 and the area of
danger (i.e., the test object), a second person with an additional "Emergency
Stop" button is required.
2 - 46
Introduction
3. Connect CPC 100 to the mains power supply using the provided cable.
4. With the test object grounded and shorted out, connect CPC 100 to the
test object according to your requirements.
5. Remove the grounding set from the test object.
6. Turn on CPC 100 at its POWER switch at the left-hand side.
The green warning light "O" lights up, showing that none of CPC 100 outputs
carries a dangerous voltage or current yet.
7. Set up your test in the CPC 100 software, and, where applicable, determine
whether you want to perform an automatic or a manual test.
The following chapters of this manual comprise an example for each
available test.
For a detailed description of how to use the software refer to section How to
Use the CPC 100 Software on page 17 of this chapter.
8. Once all test cards are prepared and the parameters set, make sure the
safety key lock is in position "release" (horizontal).
2 - 47
9. Start the test by pressing the green I/O (test start/stop) push-button on
CPC 100 front panel.
Notes:
A test can only be started in the Test Card View and with all
preconditions met (refer to Starting a Test on page 29 of this
chapter).

About Quick
Quick is the most basic mode to operate all of the CPC 100 outputs in a manuallike mode with front panel control.
Figure 1:
Quick test card
CPC 100 starts in the Test Card View (refer to Test Card View on page 2-22)
with the test procedure default. Initially, the test procedure default contains
one empty Quick test card. However, this template can be customized according
to your specific requirements with as many test cards as needed and of all types
of your choice.
By creating a user-defined test procedure default, CPC 100 starts up loading
your most frequently used test cards already containing specific values.
To learn more about defining such a template, refer to Creating Defaults and
Templates on page 2-42.

Either CB2:, CU20: or CU1: output ranges are available
if the respective external booster was selected at the
Options tab Device Setup (see Options on page 2-33)
or on the Settings page of the Quick test card.
Each range has an associated minimum and maximum
value, a fixed precision value as well as a preset number
of decimal characters (refer also to Setting Up a Test
Card on page 2-25).
If Quick operates in the "on" state, the output range
setting is locked and cannot be changed.
While in the "measuring" state with de-activated outputs,
when a range is changed, the output changes
accordingly to a new value within the allowed range
between minimum and maximum.
After having pressed K E E P R E S U L T S , the output
range setting and the measurements settings are locked
and cannot be changed.

Sync w/ V1AC
Set S Y N C W / V 1 A C by pressing the menu key that
appears when the focus is on the frequency/phase angle
data entry field.
This synchronizes the CPC 100 output frequency with
the V1AC input frequency. In this case the phase angle
of the output is displayed rather than the frequency. Set
the phase angle value relative to the phase angle of the
V1 AC input signal (we recommend a minimum input
voltage of 10V on V1 AC, possible range 48 - 62Hz).
The icon next to the frequency/phase angle data entry
field reflects the actual setting.
If "Sync w/ V1AC" is disabled, the frequency returns to
the previously set frequency value and the icon changes.
If Quick operates in the "on" state, the status of "Sync w/
V1AC" cannot be changed.
Due to the PLL (phase-locked loop) technology, the
synchronization with V1AC needs about 100ms.
If for the particular test object the synchronism within the
first 100ms is relevant, start with a reduced magnitude of
the output signal. Then enter the full magnitude of your
choice, and press E N T E R .
This procedure assures that the high-level output signal
is synchronized with V1AC right from the beginning.

trigger = second measurement value (m2) > set threshold value
trigger = second measurement value (m2) < set threshold value
overload = the trigger event is an overload condition that occurs at
the selected output.
What is an "Overload" trigger?
At the 800A AC output, an overload trigger is a condition in which the
set current cannot be reached any longer, for example, because of
an opening contact or circuit breaker.
Note: Current values < 50A do not initiate an "Overload" when the
current circuit opens. Therefore, if you use the trigger condition
"Overload", chose a nominal current value of 50A.
Quick differentiates two "Overload" trigger conditions:
1. the occurrence of an overload (as described above)
2. the clearing of an overload condition (clearing is delayed by
100 ms to debounce).

Current Transformer
CT Burden
Use the CTBurden test card to measure a current transformers secondary
burden with AC current injection into the load (up to 6A).
To do so, open the circuit as shown in figure 7, and inject the AC current from
CPC 100 6A ACoutput into the burden.
The IAC input measures the current that flows into the burden, and the V1AC
input measures the voltage at the burden.
From these measurements, the burden (in VA) and the power factor cos are
calculated.
This is the preferred method in cases, when the current of max. 800A that
CPC 100 can feed into the CTs primary side is not sufficient.

Demagnetization
Both direct currents (DC) or unsymmetrical AC currents (e.g., asymmetries
when the CT is switched off) can cause a residual induction in CT cores.
Residual induction can result in an high increase of the ratio error.
To reduce the residual induction to zero, the CT cores should be demagnetized
after all CT tests with DC, e.g., after a measurement of the CT winding
resistance, or the measurement of the contact resistances of the primary circuit.
Also demagnetize the core before carrying out ratio measurements.
If the limit values for current and voltage (Imax and Vmax) at the CTExcitation
test card are high enough to bring the core into saturation during the recording
of an excitation curve, slowly decreasing the testing voltage demagnetizes the
CT automatically.
Demagnetization can also be done without recording an excitation curve by
pressing the D E M A G . button.

Winding Resistance
Note:
Some test cards are available in more than one test mode. For
example, the test card RWinding can be selected in CT, Resistance

Some test cards are available in more than one test mode. For
example, the test card VWithstand can be selected in CT, VT,
Resistance and Transformer.
This is solely related to usability. With regard to functionality, the test

Use the test card VWithstand to measure the voltage withstand capability of the
secondary winding and secondary wiring.
To do so, disconnect the burden. As shown in figure 15, connect one cable of
the 2kV output to the transformers secondary (1S1) winding connection and the
other cable to earth and the transformers primary connection (P1). Open the
secondary ground connection and ground the burden for safety reasons.
Warning: be aware that the terminal that is connected to the transformers
secondary connection "1S1" leads life-hazardous voltage!

Polarity Check
Note:
Some test cards are available in more than one test mode. For
example, the PolCheck test card can be selected in CT and VT.
This is solely related to usability. With regard to functionality, the
Polarity Check test card is identical in all test modes.
Use the PolCheck test card to check a series of test points for correct polarity.
To do so, CPC 100 injects a special polarity test signal at a certain location. This
signal can either be a voltage or a current signal from CPC 100, and has a signal
characteristic similar to a saw-tooth signal with a different steepness for the
rising and the falling slope.
The polarity check itself is then done with the accessory CPOL, a portable easyto-use polarity checker.
Figure 17:

CPOL
Current Transformer
If CPOL detects the same signal characteristic at a test point, it considers the
polarity as OK, and lights up the green LED.
If the signal characteristic is inverted or distorted, CPOL considers the polarity
not OK, and lights up the red LED.
If CPOL detects a signal that is too low, both LEDs light up at the same time.
Remedy: increase the signal magnitude.
Note:
If you detect a wrong polarity in the current path, turn off CPC 100 first,
and only then disconnect the terminals.
If you are not quite certain whether your measurement is correct, you can
confirm it by reversing the probes of CPOL. In that case, the other LED should
light up.
If the capacity of CPOLs battery gets low, the LEDs start flashing. As long as
the LEDs are flashing, CPOLs battery provides sufficient power to continue
working. However, the battery should be changed as soon as possible.
Never operate CPOL with an open battery compartment. A life-hazardous
voltage level may occur in the battery compartment if CPOLs probe touches a
test point with high-voltage potential!

CT Rogowski (Ratio)
Use the CTRogowski test card to measure a Rogowski coils ratio by injecting
current up to 800 A from CPC 100 800A AC output or up to 2000 A using the
CP CB2 current booster connected to the "EXT. BOOSTER" output into the
current-carrying conductor, and by measuring the induced voltage at the end of
the Rogowski coil windings.
A Rogowski coils induced voltage is proportional to the conductor current
differentiated with respect to time. Therefore, in order to acquire a direct
equivalent of the conductors current, the induced voltage needs to be
integrated. In general, a Rogowski coils output signal is either lead via an
integrating amplifier or fed into an electronic protection relay with integrator. The
CTRogowski test card integrates the Rogowski coils output signal at the
CPC 100 input V2AC.
Disconnect the Rogowski coils output signal from the electronic protection relay,
and plug it into CPC 100 V2AC input.
The CTRogowski test card measures the amplitude of the injected current
Iprim and the Rogowski coils output voltage Vsec, integrates this signal, and
calculates the secondary current Isec, its phase angle as well as the actual ratio
and the deviation.

Figure 8:
Setup of a winding
resistance test
Use the RWinding test card to measure the resistance of a power transformers
winding. To do so, loop the I DC current signal from CPC 100 6A DC output via
IAC/DC as shown in figure 8 and inject it into the transformers winding.
IAC/DC measures the injected current, and V DC input measures the voltage
generated at the transformers winding. From these values the winding
resistance is calculated.
Alternatively, inject the current directly from the 400A DC output (see figure 9).

CP SA1
Due to the significant time span needed for the transformers inductance to finish
its loading process, this test evaluates the deviation of measured values within
a time interval of 10 seconds. The winding resistance is continually measured
and stored in CPC 100 internal memory. The calculated difference between the
maximum and minimum measured values in % within the last 10 seconds is
displayed.
Furthermore, this test comprises the option to take a temperature compensation
for copper (Cu) into consideration (refer to page 6-17).

Resistance - Measurement
Use the Resistance test card to measure test objects with very low resistance,
such as a contacts, windings etc.
To do so, CPC 100 injects DC current into the test object, measures the current
that flows through the test object, and calculates the test objects resistance.
The Resistance test card provides a total of three output ranges:
400A DC
6A DC
V DC (2 wire)
Inject current from 400A DCoutput to both sides of the test object. Input VDC
measures the voltage drop at the test object, the current is measured internally
by CPC 100, and from these values the software calculates the test objects
resistance.

RGround
A good substation grounding system is crucial to prevent people injury and
damage of equipment. International standards such as DIN VDE 0101/
CENELEC HD637S1, IEEE Std 80-2000 or IEEE Std 81-1983 give guidelines
how to measure such impedances.
Smaller grounding systems with a diameter of 100 m (300 ft) or smaller can be
tested with the RGround test card and CPC 100 alone, for large systems the
CP CU1 coupling unit and the Sequencer test card is a better choice. Note that
no other grounding system must be close by.
The current-voltage method as called in CENELEC HD637S1 or fall of potential
method as called in IEEE standards is a good solution to measure the ground
impedance of a substation. The current is fed via a long cable into a remote
ground. This ground can be any ground from a simple test probe to another large
grounding system. The distance between this probe and the grounding system
under test shall be at least 10 times the diameter of the grounding system, 15 to
20 times is better. Then measure the voltages with a second test probe at
various distances around the substation. If possible, choose the measurement
points in a 90 angle (birds-eye view) relative to the current path. In any case,
avoid measuring close (< 60) to the current path.
Measurement data at a large distance (typically three times the length of the
substation) from the substation allow the calculation of the overall substation
ground impedance Zground as defined in VDE 0101. Measurements at different
distances are recommended. The measurement points should all show similar
results. If the points are set too close to the substation or close to other
grounding systems or over buried pipes, the results obtained are not stable.

Note:
Do not touch the test probe without insulating gloves outside of the
substation area. In case of a high-current ground fault within the
substation during the test, considerably high voltages could arise in
any wire connected to the substation and leading away from it.

Note 1: The "Auxiliary electrode I" carries life threatening voltages during the
test. Also the step voltage around the electrode can be quite high.
Therefore it is recommended to mark an area of 10 m (30 ft) around
the electrode as dangerous zone and to position a guard outside this
area to keep people from entering the dangerous zone.
Note 2: If the desired current cannot be reached or an overload occurs, the
contact resistance to the soil of the "Auxiliary electrode I" might be too
high. Then it is a good idea to place several electrodes in a distance of
few meters and connect them all together to keep the resistance to the
soil low. This also reduces the hazard due to high voltages around the
electrode.

This is solely related to usability. With regard to functionality, the test
card VWithstand is identical in all test modes.
Use the test card VWithstand to measure the voltage withstand capability of the
secondary winding and secondary wiring. To do so, disconnect the burden.
As shown in figure 14, connect the 2kV output socket without point to the
transformers secondary (1S1) winding connection, and the output socket
marked with a point to earth and the transformers primary connection (P1).
Warning: be aware that the terminal that is connected to the transformers
secondary connection "1S1" leads life-hazardous voltage!

Select this combo box and specify a duration time for the voltage withstand test
to run (default = 60 seconds). After this time, the test is turned off automatically.
Clear this combo box if you prefer to either turn off the test manually, or have it
turned off by the option "Switch off on I AC>" without a duration time involved.
Note:
If both options "Switch off on I AC>" and "Auto" are selected, they act
as an OR operation, i.e., whatever occurs first will turn off the voltage

The test voltage increases in a ramp characteristic from 0V to Vtest. Vtest is
then applied to the output for the specified time span. The measurements are
continuously taken. Afterwards Vtest decreases in a ramp characteristic.
When the measurements are taken, finish the test by assessing it.

Sequencer
Use the Sequencer test card to define a sequence of states to be applied to a
connected test object.
A state represents an output quantity with defined settings, e.g., a certain
magnitude and frequency, for a preset period of time.
A sequence of up to 7 states can be defined. The states within that sequence
execute sequentially. For each state, a trigger signal can be specified to
prematurely terminate this state and execute the next one.
A sequence of states can either be executed once from state 1 to state x, or
repeated continuously. Furthermore, the complete sequence can prematurely
be terminated if during the execution of one of its states this states specified
trigger condition occurs.
The test objects characteristic is measured, and the values are displayed in the
measurement table.
The Sequencer test card can be subdivided into three sections:

Amplifier
Use the Amplifier test card to set CPC 100 to an "amplifier-like" mode. In this
mode, an input signal fed into a synchronization input drives the high-current
outputs magnitude, frequency and phase angle.
Select between IAC, V1AC and V2ACas synchronization inputs.
To prevent saturation, the output signal follows sudden magnitude changes at
the synchronization input slowly. This smoothening effect delays the follow-up
of the output current up to 250ms.
Both the "amplification" factor and the phase angle between input and output are
set by the user in the Amplifier test card.
Note 1: Changes in frequency and phase angle may result in unwanted
effects. Both frequency and phase must be held stable.
Note 2: The input frequency is limited to a range of 48 ... 62Hz.

General
The interface to access the CPC 100 built-in ePC is an Ethernet ( Glossary)
board. CPC 100 can be connected with a 10BaseT ("twisted pair") connection
cable to either a stand-alone PC, or an existing PC network.
For this, the Ethernet board provides two RJ-45 connectors:
the upper socket labelled "PC" connects CPC 100 to either a PCs Ethernet
network card or a notebooks PC Card ( Glossary)
Figure 1:
CPC 100 connected to
a stand-alone PC (here
a notebook)
"PC"
the lower socket labelled "to Network" connects CPC 100 to a PC network
hub.
Figure 2:

network
"Network"
11 - 2
These two connectors only differ in one cross-connection in the upper RJ-45
connector "PC".
Note:
For both RJ-45 sockets the same 10BaseT connection cable type can be used.
Therefore make sure to insert your 10BaseT connection cable into the correct
CPC 100 socket.
The communication protocol is the TCP/IP protocol.
DHCP/Auto-IP
Most PC networks have a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server
that provides an address for every device connected to the network and defines
the subnet mask. When connected to such a network, setting CPC 100 to
DHCP/Auto-IP mode enables it to obtain an address from the DHCP server. If
there is no DHCP server (e.g., because CPC 100 is directly connected to a PC),
CPC 100 generates its address automatically (Auto-IP).
Older versions of Microsoft Windows, such as Windows 95 or NT 4.0, support
DHCP but not Auto-IP. For details about how to establish a communication via
a direct connection, refer to the section Setup for Windows 95 & NT 4.0 on
page 8 of this chapter.
Static IP
In smaller PC networks, all computers have individual static IP addresses. The
system administrator has to assure that no IP address is used twice. He
provides you with an unique address and all other settings for CPC 100.
If, by mistake, an IP address is used twice in the network, communication of
one or both of the devices will fail to work.
If you are in doubt, set PC and CPC 100 to DHCP/Auto-IP.
11 - 3
IP address
This is the unique network address of CPC 100. You need this setting only if
static IP addresses are used. Your system administrator will provide you with a
valid static IP address.
Subnet mask
This is the filter for the IP address. It has to be identical for all devices within one
network. You need this setting only if static IP addresses are used. Your system
administrator will provide you with a valid subnet mask.
Default gateway
This is the address of a local IP router on the same network the CPC is in. It is
used to enable data traffic to destinations beyond the local network.
Commonly, the default gateway is not needed and can therefore be set to
0.0.0.0. This setting is only accessible if static IP addresses are used. Your
system administrator will provide you with details.
DNS
This is the address of the Domain Name System server.
Commonly, this address is not needed and can therefore be set to 0.0.0.0. This
setting is only accessible if static IP addresses are used. Your system
administrator will provide you with details.
11 - 4
PC or Notebook
If your PC or notebook is capable of communicating in a PC network,
communication with your CPC 100 either within a network or via a direct
connection to CPC 100, should function without changing any of your PC
settings.
To avoid possible communication problems, we recommend to first fully boot
CPC 100, then connect CPC to the PC and eventually start CPC Explorer.
Computers with a Windows 95 or a NT 4.0 operating system need a special
setup. These details are explained in chapter Setup for Windows 95 & NT 4.0
on page 8 of this chapter.
In a network with static IP addresses, your system administrator will provide you
with valid settings for CPC 100.
In a network with dynamic address configuration (DHCP or Auto-IP), set your
CPC 100 to "DHCP/Auto-IP". This way, both the addresses of your PC and
CPC 100 will be generated automatically.
11 - 5
If you still dont get a connection, try another 10BaseT connection cable.
If that still does not work, connect CPC 100 "Network" port and your PC to a
network hub (as shown in figure 2 on page 2 of this chapter).
If the link indicator LED works but you still cannot establish communication,
try to deactivate firewall and/or anti-virus software on your computer since
applications like these may interfere and prevent proper communication.
If it still does not work, call the OMICRON hotline (+43 5523 507-333).
2. Connection of CPC 100 and PC via a network hub
Connect and disconnect the 10BaseT connection cable several times and
check whether the "link indicator" LED near the PCs port turns on and off.
Note:
If you still dont get a connection, try another 10BaseT connection cable on a
different port of the hub.
If the link indicator LED works but you still cannot establish communication,
try to deactivate firewall and/or anti-virus software that is installed on your
computer since applications like these may interfere and prevent proper
communication.
If it still does not work, call the OMICRON hotline (+43 5523 507-333).

By default, CPC Explorer uses port 4987 to find connected CPC sets,
and port 21 (FTP port) to download data from the CPC. It also needs
the possibility to send and receive ICMP data packages ("PING"
command has to work).
During installation of CPC Explorer you are asked to open some parts on
Windows firewalls. It is recommended to allow this, otherwise the "find"
algorithm will not work.

This way it is possible to connect your PC to the network using the first
network cards port, and directly to CPC 100 using the second network cards
port.
Set CPC 100 to DHCP/Auto-IP to connect it to the network or directly to the
PC.

EDITOR
Contrary to editing the report with MS Word for Windows, the MSHTML mode
does not start an application. Instead, the cursor moves directly to the
beginning of the first line of the report displayed in the right-hand side pane,
and enables direct editing of the test report.
About the MSHTML editor:
A right mouse click into the test report view opens a context menu which
provides a cut/copyand paste functionality as known from other Windows
applications.
Note that the MSHTML editor does not support the short-key functions
Ctrl + X for cut, Ctrl + C for copy and Ctrl + V for paste.
Regardless whether MS Word for Windows or the MSHTML editor is used for
editing, to prevent changes to test results, CPC Explorer will not allow you to
directly modify the original test report. The only way to save your changes is
saving the file with a new name (F I L E | S A V E A S . . . ).

General
CPC Editor is an optionally available PC-based software program.
It is used for offline test preparation, i.e., to set up single test cards and/or entire
tests with all of their test-specific settings on a PC, independent from the
availability of a CPC 100.
The prepared test file (.xml file1) is then uploaded to CPC 100 using
CPC Explorer (refer to Uploading files from your PC to CPC 100 on page 1212). Therefore, CPC Editor requires an installation of CPC Explorer.
CPC Editor also opens executed and assessed test files that were downloaded
from CPC 100 to your computer to view them, edit them, and, if required, save
them on your computers hard disk.
Additionally, a test file can be saved as test procedure template, i.e., a userdefined template containing one or more test cards with all of their specific test
settings. To learn more about templates in general, please refer to Creating
Defaults and Templates on page 2-42.

Template Usage
Templates are pairs of XML documents and Microsoft Excel templates designed
by OMICRON electronics or end users for designated applications. The XML
templates are predefined test procedures, often with comments, that run on
CPC 100 and guide the user through the test. Once completed, the XML file is
saved, downloaded to the PC using CPC Explorer and then loaded with
CPC100 File Loader into the corresponding Microsoft Excel template. There the
results are post processed and a final test report is generated. The template
pairs facilitate and speed testing with CPC 100 and the evaluation of results.
Some template pairs allow version control. If an error message appears after
loading the XML template, use a template pair of the same version. The
template usage requires the CPC Explorer software to be installed on your PC.
CPC Explorer enables you to transfer files (templates and test results) between
the PC and CPC 100.
To run a test procedure according a template:
1. Using CPC Explorer, upload a single XML template or a whole folder of
templates for the intended application from the PC to CPC 100.
The XML templates (*.xmt files) are available on the CPC Explorer
CD-ROM in the Templates directory or in the customer area of
www.omicron.at.
2. Open the template on CPC 100.
3. Run the test procedure according to the template.
4. After completing the test procedure, save the test as a new file.
5. Using CPC Explorer, download the test results from CPC 100 to your
preferred working directory on the PC.
6. Open the corresponding Microsoft Excel template by double-clicking the
*.xlt file in the folder labeled with the test procedure name in the
Templates\CPC 100 directory.
A Microsoft Excel workbook appears.
7. Click the Load XML-File button and open the *.xml file saved in your
preferred working directory before to load the test results.
Excel CPC 100 File Loader loads the test results from the XML file to the
Microsoft Excel template.
8. After all worksheets are filled with data, the test results are calculated and
displayed.

General
In the following tables, all guaranteed input data are specified for an ambient
temperature of 23C 5, a power supply of 230V AC, and after a warm-up
time greater than 25min.
All guaranteed output data are valid for the period of one year after factory
adjustment.
The error values of each measurement range (listed under "Accuracy" in the
following tables) are specified in
% of the reading (rd) + % of full scale (fs)
To obtain the exact measurement error, multiply the displayed measured
value with the given reading error (rd), and add the full scale value multiplied
with the given full scale error (fs).
Example:
CPC 100 is set to the 800A AC range.
The display shows a measured value of 720A at I Out.
The guaranteed error is specified as 0,2% (rd) + 0,2% (fs).
Therefore, the error is 720A x 0,2% (rd) + 800A x 0,2% (fs)
= 1.44A + 1.6A = 3.04A.
Note:
The listed value of the typical maximum output time "typical time tmax" applies
at the high-current 800A AC and 400A DC outputs to a load consisting of
2x6m cables
at the other outputs to the respective typical output power.
Note:
15 - 2
Never connect the 2kV output to any of the inputs! The 2kV output is
measured internally.
Technical Data
When loaded with a high burden, the 800A AC, 400A DC, 6A AC (also in
the 3A AC mode) and 6A DC outputs can generate noise. This noise,
however, is normal and no reason to worry.

external booster is used. Therefore, in order to gain the full output
power, provide a sufficient power supply (190V ... 240V AC).

When using the CTRogowski test card, the 3V V2AC input uses an
additional software based integration method.
In the range of 50Hz < f < 60Hz, this results in a phase shift of 90 as
well as an additional phase error of +/- 0.1 and an additional
amplitude error of +/- 0.01%.
For frequencies in the range of 15Hz < f < 400Hz, the phase error is
not specified, and the amplitude error can be up to +/- 0,50% higher.
