OMICRON CIBANO 500 Circuit-Breaker Test System

Verified profile of the OMICRON CIBANO 500 combining breaker timing, micro-ohm measurement and coil/motor supply.

Product scope

CIBANO 500 combines a timing analyser, micro-ohmmeter and adjustable AC/DC coil and motor supply for medium- and high-voltage circuit breakers.

Verified tests

The official page identifies main-contact timing, static and dynamic contact resistance, coil-current signatures, travel, undervoltage behaviour and minimum pickup. It supports MV breakers and HV live-tank, dead-tank and GIS designs. OMICRON publishes a system weight of 20 kg.

Engineering interpretation

An integrated supply allows controlled undervoltage tests without relying on station battery variation. Dynamic resistance and motion results require correct transducers, connections and manufacturer-specific interpretation; unusual signatures are indicators, not automatic diagnoses.

Specification caution

Check required accessories, grounding method, number of interrupters, transducer mounting and the exact test library available for the breaker model.

Official sources and revision control

Technical review date: 16 August 2026. Standards and product capabilities can change; confirm the project-specific edition, firmware, options and ordered configuration before engineering or procurement.
