 3 PTM 4.00 Features & Improvements for Switch Gear Testing
Automatic assessment for Motor Current test results
The Motor Current test now offers an automatic assessment of its new numerical results Inrush Current and
Charging Time. The assessment limits (absolute or relative) can be entered directly in the asset definition
(Assessment limits tab) or in the Motor Current test (Assessmentsection).

Automatic assessment for auxiliary contact timings

The assessment of CIBANO 500 Timing and Dynamic Contact Resistance tests now allows also the
automatic assessment of auxiliary contact timings (Switching time, Diff. to main and Duration). The
assessment limits can be defined in the asset definition (Assessment limits tab) or directly in the test
(Assessment section).

Automated stop of motor supply when charging is finished

The Motor Current test is now automatically stopped when the motor finished the charging process. The
CIBANO device monitors the current drawn by the motor during the charging process and automatically
stops the operation when no current is drawn anymore. The same applies for the Supply motor option
executed from any other CIBANO 500 test in PTM.

Permanent power supply on channel B3

The CIBANO 500 now offers to enable the channel B3 as permanent power supply. This power supply can
be switched on even if no test is currently running and it is not interrupted while executing a test. The voltage
level can be in the range of -300V300V DC or 0 240V AC. Since the CIBANO device can only put out
one voltage level at a time, the permanent power supply and other voltage outputs have to have the same
voltage level.

Megger import
PTM is now able to import numerical measurement data from Meggers CABAWin format. In the Manage
view, choose Import from Megger CABAWin from the Import menu in the job column and select the root
folder of the CABAWin job to import. PTM will then read available asset information and measurement data.
The data is imported in the PTM database.

Use conversion tables for contact travel measurements

The former Contact factor setting for contact travel measurements is extended to also load Conversion
tables that translate an angular transducer movement to a linear main contact movement (degree to
millimetres). PTM supports a generic CSV format (User Manual includes details) and Meggers TBL-format
for conversion tables. The conversion tables are added to the circuit breaker asset and can then be used in
the corresponding tests. It is still possible to use a linear factor which is then again the Contact Factor.

CIBANO 500 hardware self-test

The CIBANO 500 system is safer now. The device software performs a hardware self-test before executing
the first test after booting the device. The CIBANO 500 will automatically check vital components like the
switch-matrix output relays and report back if the test was passed or not. If not, PTM shows an information
with further instructions. The test will prevent the CIBANO system from executing tests with malicious
hardware.

1.2 Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP)

The Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) collects information about how you use
Primary Test Manager without interrupting you. This helps OMICRON identify which features to
improve. No information collected is used to identify or contact you. We encourage you to join the
program to help improve Primary Test Manager.

2 PTM 3.50 Features & Improvements for Testing Transformers

2.1 Improvement of DC Winding Resistance Test

When using the CP SB1, the user can select any tap position and automatically measure the
winding resistance of all three windings. With this option, selective three-phase measurements on
individual tap positions (e.g. mid, high, low) can be easily performed.
When testing windings with a DETC, automatic measurements on all three phases can be
performed using the CP SB1.
When testing windings without a tap changer, automatic measurements on all three phases can be
performed using the CP SB1.
When testing one-phase transformers, automatic tap control of the CP SB1 can be used to perform
automatic measurements on all tap positions.

2.2 Selective nameplate locking

After a test has been executed, only the nameplate parameters which affect this specific test will be
locked for editing. In contrast to previous versions, users will be able to change other nameplate
values (e.g. bushing data) if the tests linked to those parameters have not been executed.

2.3 Assessment status overview

In the assessment status overview, the user is able to differentiate if an assessment has been done
for every executed measurement and if an assessment has been manually corrected by the user.
Bug fix of representation of aggregated assessment status.

3 PTM 3.50 Features & Improvements for Testing Circuit Breakers

Automated suggestion of default Contact Factor. If not otherwise specified, the idealized Contact
Factor is automatically calculated from the measurement data and the nominal total travel in the
circuit breaker nameplate.

Auxiliary contact timing. Primary Test Manager now automatically detects the type of measured
auxiliary contacts and calculates their switching time, duration and time difference to the
corresponding main contact. These values are also part of the test report.

Motor current numerical results. Primary Test Manager now automatically calculates, displays
and reports the inrush current and charging time when doing a Motor Current test.

OMICRON 2016 Page 9 of 25

 Auto-update also available for CIBANO 500 device software. The auto-update of the Primary
Test Manager now supports to update the CIBANO 500 device software independently from PTM.

Closing time calculation in O-CO sequence. Primary Test Manager now calculates the main
contact closing time when executing an O-CO operation sequence.

Check hardware modules to restore configuration. Primary Test Manager automatically checks if
the connected hardware modules fit the prepared Hardware Configuration in the test. In case of a
mismatch it provides information to resolve it.
