Preface
Orderly Measures
• The Reference Manual, or alternatively the e-book in PDF format, should
always be available on the site where the CPC 100 is being used.
• Personnel assigned to use the 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 the CPC 100.
• Do not undertake any modifications, extensions, or adaptations to the
CPC 100.
• Use the CPC 100 in conjunction with original accessories only.
1-5
CPC 100 V 2.0
Safe Operation
When setting the CPC 100 into operation, follow the instructions in ”Putting the
CPC 100 into Operation” on page 2-49.
If you have a cardiac pacemaker, do not use the CPC 100! Before operating the
CPC 100, make sure there is no person with a cardiac pacemaker in the
immediate vicinity.
Note: Never use the CPC 100 without a solid connection to ground with at least
6 mm². Use a ground point as close as possible to the test object.
Power Supply
• Supply the CPC 100 only from a power outlet that has protective earth (PE).
• An error message (313) appears if either the PE connection is defective or
the power supply has no galvanic connection to ground. In this case, make
sure that the PE connection is intact. If the PE connection is intact and the
error message still appears, select the "Disable ground check" check box at
the Device Setup tab in the Options view (see ”Device Setup” on page 2-
35).
• Ground the isolating transformer outputs on the N (neutral) output or select
the "Disable ground check" check box as described above.
• Instead of supplying the CPC 100 from phase - neutral (L1-N, A-N), it may
also be supplied from phase - phase (for example, L1-L2; A-B). However, the
voltage must not exceed 240V AC.
• Fuse-protect the power supply (16 A automatic circuit-breaker).
• Do not use an extension cable on a cable reel to prevent an overheating of
the cord; run out the extension cord.
• Keep extension cables as short as possible to prevent power loss.
• If the power supply is ≤ 190V AC, the CPC 100 cannot provide the full output
power at the 800A AC output.
1-6
Preface
General
Note: Even if you switched off the 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 object’s terminals that are to be connected to the
CPC 100 do not carry any voltage potential. During a test, the only power
source for a test object may be the CPC 100.
Warning: Do not insert objects (for example, 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!
• 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

CPC 100 V 2.0
Warning: As long as the CPC 100 software shows the on-screen message
"Switch off in progress", NEVER connect or disconnect test objects and / or
cables.
Warning: The CP SA1 (see ”CP SA1” on page 15-17) must be connected to
the CPC 100 V DC input sockets when using the 400A DC output to protect
yourself and the CPC 100 from high-voltage hazards.
If a test object with a big inductance was connected to the CPC 100, short-out
the test object additionally before disconnecting it from the CPC 100.
1-8
Preface
Warning: When the CPC 100 is switched on consider this part of the cable a
hazard of electric shock!
1-9
CPC 100 V 2.0
– 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.
– The high-current cables for both the 800A AC and 400A DC outputs are
equipped with connection clamps at one end. If these connection clamps
are attached to a test object’s terminal that is situated above your head,
make sure the clamp is securely attached. Due to the weight of the cables
the clamp may become loose and fall down.
• Do not operate the CPC 100 under ambient conditions that exceed the
temperature and humidity limits listed at ”Technical Data” on page 14-1.
• Do not operate the CPC 100 in the presence of explosives, gas or vapors.
• Opening the CPC 100 invalidates all warranty claims.
• If the CPC 100 or any add-on device or accessory does not seem to function
properly, do not use it anymore. Please call the OMICRON electronics
hotline.
1 - 10
Preface
Changing Fuses
• Turn off the 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 the CPC 100. By
disconnecting it you prevent a possibly faulty test object feeding power back
into the CPC 100.
• Locate the blown fuse on the front panel of the CPC 100, and replace it:
– 6.3A T (6.3 Amps slow-acting wire fuse 5x20 mm) for AC OUTPUT in 6A
operation mode1 or for DC OUTPUT.
– 3.15A T (3.15 Amps slow-acting wire fuse 5x20 mm) for AC OUTPUT in
130V operation mode.
– 10A FF (10 Amps very-quick-acting wire fuse 5x20 mm) for measuring
inputs.
Note: Replace with identical fuse type only.

Preface
Designated Use
The CPC 100, in conjunction with its accessories or as a stand-alone unit, is a
multi-purpose 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 the 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, the CPC 100 can be accessed from a stand-alone PC, for
example, a notebook, via a PC network and via the Internet (refer to ”CPC 100
in a Network” in chapter 10).

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, for example, Quick, CT, VT... etc. (refer
to ”Accelerator Keys” on page 22 of this chapter).
View Selector
Lets you select the view of your choice, for example, 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" (Enter) function.
In "navigation" mode, turning the handwheel navigates you through the UI
( Glossary) elements within one test card. Pressing the Up/Down keys has
the same effect.
In "data entry" mode, that is, 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 field’s
value or browses through the preset values of the combo box, respectively.
Pressing the handwheel corresponds to the Enter function of the soft-touch
keyboard.
Furthermore, the wheel comprises an adaptive acceleration function, that is, 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.
Up/Down 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 Up/Down 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.

CPC 100 V 2.0
Caution: Stopping a test does not shut off theCPC 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.
2 - 16
Introduction
2 - 17
CPC 100 V 2.0
• 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.
• Test procedure default
A test procedure with all of its test cards and specific settings - but without
test results - can be made the test procedure default.
Note: When the CPC 100 software starts, it automatically loads the test
procedure default.
Initially, that is, as long as no user-defined test procedure default is created,
the the CPC 100 software loads one empty Quick test card.
• 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.
• Test procedure template
A report can be copied/pasted to be a test procedure template.
In this process, the settings are preserved, however, the test results are
deleted.

(shown here: "Demag.", CTExcitation).
Note: The actual function of the context-dependent menu keys depends on the
selected view, test mode, test card and selected UI element.
To make the above listed functions visible, the focus ( Glossary) must be set
onto the test card tab designation, for example, CTRatioV.
Use the context-dependent Up/Down menu keys to the right, or the handwheel,
to browse through the structure.

Introduction
As shown above, the value itself is highlighted, the unit is not, and at the value’s
end a blinking caret (cursor) indicates "ready for data entry".
Now either
• use the Up/Down 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 Figure 17).

Pressing Esc on the soft-touch keyboard while entering a value, discards the
entry and restores the previous value.
When ready, press either the handwheel again or the Enter key to confirm your
entry, and move forward to the next UI element of your choice by turning the
handwheel or the Up/Down keys.
Note: If a number key is pressed with the focus set onto a data entry field, this
number is automatically written to the data entry field, and the field is enabled
for data entry.
Pressing the context-dependent menu key Back to Top terminates the data
entry mode, accepts all current values and sets the focus onto the test card tab
designation.
Combo Box
The same principle applies at a combo box, for example, :
• 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 Up/Down keys.
Pressing Esc 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, for example, and press
either the Enter key or the handwheel to select /clear a check box.
2 - 26
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 Up/Down keys, a read-only list box is treated as one UI
element, that is, 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 Enter to "enter" a cell and to edit the
value.
When using the Up/Down keys, the focus proceeds to the same table cell
one line above or below.

CPC 100 V 2.0
Settings Page
Some test cards include the Settings menu key. Pressing the Settings 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 35 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.
Preconditions to start a test
1. The required test card is defined, the test parameters are set.
2. The software is in the Test Card View.
3. The Emergency Stop button is released.
4. The safety key lock is set to the "enable" position.
Pressing the I/O (test start/stop) push-button starts the test. Pressing this
push-button a second time stops the test.
Note: 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.
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
CPC 100 V 2.0
Temperature Monitoring
Each test card contains a progress bar-like temperature gauge that displays the
CPC 100 actual temperature condition. When the temperature limit is reached,
that is before an overheating condition occurs, the output is switched off
automatically.
In addition, if an output is activated, both the 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 gauge’s bar therewith represents an indicator for the
remaining time the 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 gauge’s bar represents an indicator
how much the device has already cooled off.
Note: To reach a maximum output time, we suggest to let the CPC 100 cool off
completely before switching it on again.
Note: For each line of measurement results there is a separate overload
indication top right on the CPC 100’s screen (or in the report) explained below.
No overload indication means no overload during that step of the measurement
sequence. In the test report, "No" appears in the overload field or column.
Dotted overload indication means that there was an overload during that step of
the measurement sequence but not all the time. In the test report, "Yes" appears
in the overload field or column.
Solid overload indication means a permanent overload during that step of the
measurement sequence. In the test report, "Yes!" appears in the overload field
or column.
2 - 30
Introduction
The Test Procedure Overview lists all test cards of the currently active test
procedure in a list box showing the card’s name, its creation date and time,
whether test results are available and the test card’s assessment status.
Pressing Insert Card 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 Esc at Insert a new test card brings you back to the previous view
without inserting a new test card.
Delete Card deletes the currently highlighted test card from the test procedure.
With Save As Default, Test Procedure Overview provides a function to save the
current test procedure as the test procedure default, that is the default the
CPC 100 software will start with in future.
To learn more about defaults, refer to section ”Creating Defaults and Templates”
on page 44 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 Clear Results clears the test results of
the currently highlighted test card only ("Comment" in Figure 21), Clear All
Results applies to all test cards, that is, clears the results of all cards listed in
the Test Procedure Overview.
After both Clear Results and Clear All Results, re-start the test in the Test Card
View by pressing the I/O (test start/stop) push-button.
2 - 31
CPC 100 V 2.0
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.
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, that is, a user-defined template
containing one or more test cards with all of their specific test
settings but without test results.

Introduction
The Menus
Saves the currently open test, that is, the test card(s)
previously opened in the Test Card View (refer to Note below).
Opens the String Editor. You can save the currently open test
under a new name of your choice (15 characters max.).
Use the handwheel or the Up/Down keys to select a test, and
press Open to open it. Changes to Test Card View.
Closes the current test card(s), changes to Test Card View and
opens the test procedure default.
Note: Unlike the other menu items, the two Save... functions of the main File
Operations menu directly effect the currently open test, i.e., the test procedure
that was composed in the Test Card View, or the test that was loaded in the
CPC 100 file system beforehand.
Therefore, pressing Save, for example, does not save the test that you may
have highlighted in the folder tree, but the one that is currently open.

your choice to the currently open test.
Deletes the currently selected test or folder from the CPC 100
disk space.
Opens the String Editor that enables you to rename the current
test to any new name of your choice.
(for future use)
Submenu Edit
Select the test of your choice. Press Cut to put the selected
test or folder to the Clipboard. Proceed with Paste...
Select the test of your choice. Press Copy to copy test or
folder to the CPC 100 Clipboard. Proceed with Paste...
Move to the destination folder of your choice. Press Paste to
insert the contents of the CPC 100 Clipboard to this folder.
Press Paste As Templ. to make the contents of the CPC 100
Clipboard a test procedure template.
(for future use)
Note: If a folder is cut or copied to the Clipboard, the selection is recursive, that
is, all of its subfolders will also be put to the Clipboard.
Cutting or copying a test or folder, and trying to paste it in the same location,
opens the String Editor.
Since a test or folder cannot exist twice under the same name at the same
location, determine a new name for it using the String Editor.
For more information about the String Editor, please refer to ”The String Editor”
in chapter 9.
2 - 34
Introduction
Options
Note: Changes made in the Options view are automatically saved when the
view is changed (for example when Options is left to change to Test Card View).
Alternatively, changes can be saved instantly by pressing Save Options.
Upon a power supply loss or an accidental switching off of the 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 the 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
New test card Booster, clamp and default frequency
set in the Options view
New test card saved as default Booster and clamp set in the Options
view
New test procedure from template Booster, clamp and frequency remain
(*.xmt) as defined in the template
New procedure from report (*.xml) Booster, clamp and frequency remain
as defined in the report
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 (for example, after pressing the
Keep Results menu key or after loading a file), clear the results by pressing the
Clear Results 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 well-
founded cases, you can alternatively set a test card individually using the
Settings menu key (see ”Settings Page” on page 28 of this chapter).

Table 1: ”Instantiation procedures” on page 35.
Clamp & input transformer settings
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:
• IClamp for the current clamp parameters
• CT for the transformation ratio of the current transformer
• VT for the transformation ratio of the voltage transformer
By 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 35.

Introduction
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 high-
voltage/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
Warning: Prior to connecting a test object to the 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 re-
connection of high voltage by other persons and circumstances.
• Verify a safe isolation of the test object.
• Earth-connect and shorten out the test object’s 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 the CPC 100 and the
area of danger (that is, the test object), a second person with an additional
"Emergency Stop" button is required.

3. Connect the CPC 100 to the mains power supply using the provided cable.
4. With the test object grounded and shorted out, connect the CPC 100 to the
test object according to your requirements.
5. Remove the grounding set from the test object.
6. Turn on the CPC 100 at its POWER switch at the left-hand side.
The green warning light "O" lights up, showing that none of the 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).

Introduction
9. Start the test by pressing the green I/O (test start/stop) push-button on the
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).
• If voltages ≥ 1 kV are to be applied, after pressing the I/O
(test start/stop) push-button for the first time a warning
message appears on the screen.
Only after the I/O push-button is pressed a second time, the
voltage is applied to the CPC 100 output.
• An error message (313) appears if either the PE connection is
defective or the power supply has no galvanic connection to
ground. In this case, make sure that the PE connection is intact.
If the PE connection is intact and the error message still
appears, select the "Disable ground check" check box at the
Device Setup tab in the Options view (see ”Device Setup” on
page 2-35).
Rather than starting a test and activating the outputs, pressing
the I/O (test start/stop) push-button will then pop up a message
box notifying you about this problem.
10.If a potentially hazardous voltage and/or current level is applied to the
CPC 100 outputs, the red signal red light "I" starts flashing.
11.After testing, switch off the high voltage or current immediately with the I/O
(test start/stop) push-button.
12.If you do not use the CPC 100 anymore, turn the safety key to "lock" (vertical)
and remove the key to avoid anybody accidentally turning on the high voltage
or current.
Note: After turning off the high voltage or current observe the warning lights:
only when the CPC 100 green warning light is on and the red one off, switch
off the safety key lock and take off its key.
13.After turning off the CPC 100 outputs, earth-connect and short-circuit the
test object’s terminals again using a grounding set.
14.Remove the connection between the CPC 100 and the test object.
Warning: Never touch any metallic terminals and / housing components
without a visible ground connection!

Getting Started with Quick
About Quick
Quick is the most basic mode to operate all of the CPC 100 outputs in a manual-
like mode with front panel control.
Figure 1:
Quick test card
The 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, the 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 2-44.

CPC 100 V 2.0
Caution: When testing capacitive test objects using voltages ≥ 500 V, make
sure that the test object’s capacity does not exceed 25 nF.
Together with the test object’s capacity, the leakage inductance of the
CPC 100 internal output transformer forms a series resonant circuit. Especially
at frequencies > 50 / 60 Hz this may result in voltage superelevation.
Caution: Never use Quick 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!
Pressing the Settings menu key opens the Settings page. The Settings page
allows setting the test cards individually. As a rule, do not use the Settings page
but the Device Setup tab in the Options view (see ”Device Setup” on page 2-
35) to set the test cards. For more information, see ”Settings Page” on page 2-

Range
Combo box to select between the output ranges
AC 800A, AC 6A, AC 3A, DC 400A, DC 6A,
AC 2kV, AC 1kV, AC 500V, AC 130V and
CB2:1000A, CB2:2000A or
CU20:10A, CU20:20A or
CU1:10A, CU1:20A, CU1:50A, CU1:100A
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 2-35)
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 Keep Results, the output range
setting and the measurements settings are locked and
cannot be changed.
Power output value
Current (I) or voltage (V) value, depending on the
specified range (see above).
Any value between minimum and maximum as well as
the explicit value 0.0 is possible, even while in the "on"
state.
The respective minimum and maximum values depend
on the range and, for voltage ranges, also on the
frequency. For frequencies smaller than 50 Hz, and
down to the minimum frequency of 15 Hz, the possible
maximum voltage value decreases linear proportional to
the frequency value (refer to Figure 3, ”Typical maximum
output voltage of 2kV AC output depending on
frequency and power” on page 14-13).
Current ranges do not have such a dependency.

1 Trigger on:
Selection of trigger event
• no trigger (default)
• binary trigger = CPC 100 input BIN IN is monitored for a trigger event
• trigger = first measurement value (m1) > set threshold value
• trigger = first measurement value (m1) < set threshold value
• 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 < 50 A do not initiate an "Overload" when the
current circuit opens. Therefore, if you use the trigger condition
"Overload", choose a nominal current value of ≥ 50 A.
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).

CTBurden
Use the CTBurden test card to measure a current transformer’s 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
the CPC 100 6A ACoutput into the burden.
The I AC input measures the current that flows into the burden, and the V1 AC
input measures the voltage at the burden.
From these measurements, the burden (in VA) and the power factor cos ϕ are
calculated.
This is the preferred method in cases when the current of max. 800A that the
CPC 100 can feed into the CT’s primary side is not sufficient.

• Set the first value of your choice (rms value) either by turning the handwheel
or by entering this value with the numerical keys.
Note: When using the handwheel, make sure not to increase the amplitude
too fast since this may shortly exceed the set value I max. Turn the
handwheel slowly.
• "I:" shows the corresponding current value and indicates it with the crosshair
cursor in the graphics.
• Press Add Point to add the test point to the graph.
• Repeat this procedure for all additional test points.
The points you set are automatically connected (interpolated) with linear line
segments.
• Press Remove Last P. to undo the adding of the last test point. Press the
key repeatedly to remove more than one point.
• Press Remove All to clear all points at once. This does not terminate the test
but lets you set new test points.
• Once all test points are set, press the I/O (test start/stop) push-button to stop
the manual test. The knee point is calculated, and its values are displayed at
"Iknee:" and "Vknee:".
• The test can now be assessed.

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, the CPC 100 injects a special polarity test signal at a certain location.
This signal can either be a voltage or a current signal from the 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 easy-
to-use polarity checker.
Figure 17:
Illustrated setup for a

CPC 100 V 2.0
If CPOL detects the same signal characteristic at a test point, it considers the
polarity as OK, and lights up the green LED.
+ If CPOL detects a signal that is too low, both LEDs light up at the same time.
Remedy: increase the signal magnitude.
Warning: If you detect a wrong polarity in the current path, turn off the
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 the CPOL. In that case, the other LED
should light up.
Warning: Never operate the CPOL with an open battery compartment. A life-
hazardous voltage level may occur in the battery compartment if the CPOL’s
probe touches a test point with high-voltage potential!

CTRogowski (Ratio)
Use the CTRogowski test card to measure a Rogowski coil’s ratio by injecting
current up to 800 A from the 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 coil’s induced voltage is proportional to the conductor current
differentiated with respect to time. Therefore, in order to acquire a direct
equivalent of the conductor’s current, the induced voltage needs to be
integrated. In general, a Rogowski coil’s 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 coil’s output signal at the
CPC 100 input V2 AC.
Disconnect the Rogowski coil’s output signal from the electronic protection relay,
and plug it into the CPC 100 V2 AC input.
The CTRogowski test card measures the amplitude of the injected current
Iprim and the Rogowski coil’s output voltage Vsec, integrates this signal, and
calculates the secondary current Isec, its phase angle as well as the actual ratio
and the deviation.

Navigate to the parameter fields, and enter the values according to your test
requirements:
Note: When using the CTRogowski test card, the 3V V2 AC input uses an
additional software-based integration method.
In the range of 50 Hz < f < 60 Hz, 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 15 Hz < f < 400 Hz, the phase error is
not specified, and the amplitude error can be up to +/- 0.50% higher.
Therefore, for phase measurements, use a frequency range of
50 Hz < f < 60 Hz only.

Measurements
The SV-Ratio test card displays the measurement results in a table:
4 - 58
Current Transformer
It is possible to start a test several times, and to save results any time, except
when the test card is loaded from a file and has results. For the first SV-Ratio
test card, the first MU (alphabetical order) is selected. For further SV-Ratio test
cards, the selection of the preceding SV-Ratio test card is taken over as default.
The selected MU can only be changed when the CPC 100 is deactivated, and
no results are available. After refreshing the streams, the previously selected
MU is retained. If a new SV-Ratio test card is inserted, the MU of the preceding
test card is retained as default.
Tests
1. Ratio and Polarity:
a) The MU is set to a fixed ratio (for example, 1000:1). If the CT also features
a ratio of 1000:1 (usual case), the CPC 100 shows about 1:1 for the ratio.
If not, several mistakes or defects are possible:
– wrong wiring (wrong channel of the MU assigned)
– wrong settings in the MU or wrong MU for this CT
– defect in the CT which influences the ratio
b) A unique signal is used to check if the CT is correctly connected to the MU
or the CPC 100 output is connected correctly to the primary side of the
CT. For a short time, the CPC 100 sends the signal and does a cross-
correlation with the signal measured back from the SV stream.
Afterwards, the CPC 100 gets a correlation value and with internal limits
the software decides if the polarity is OK, not OK, or if the signal
correlation failed.
2. Automatic MU detection: For commissioning purposes, the MU and
channel detection can be performed as a test to check that the MU and CT
4 - 59
CPC 100 V 2.0
cores are correctly wired and named. The CPC 100 searches automatically
on which channel the polarity check signal is present and does the polarity
check afterwards.
a) The Automatic stream search feature does a search on all channels of
all streams. If on any of these channels the polarity check signal could be
detected, the MU and its channel is selected and a polarity check is
performed.
3. Frequency-selective current/voltage measurement:
a) Apart from the ratio test, the CPC 100 can also read the primary side
values without injecting any signal. Thus, the CPC 100 acts as a selective
voltage/current meter. This is especially suitable to see the primary side
voltage and currrents of the bay before de-energizing or after energizing.
The voltage and currents of neighboring systems can also be viewed, for
example, for some additional information during special investigations.
For this case, another stream needs to be selected.
To see all the channels, press Chn. A, Chn. B, Chn. C or Chn. N.
Example:

4 - 60
Current Transformer
b) You have also the possibility to check if the system you want to measure
at is really free of voltage and no current is actually flowing, and if other
neighboring live systems are coupling any dangerous values.
4. Noise level measurement: This test is used to measure all the frequencies
of the CPC 100 to see if there is "noise" or other signals on a channel without
injecting. Thus, you can check on all channels of the MU at which frequencies
the noise is high to determine the best test frequency for your system.
– Quick check: Scan through the channel and look for the maximum value.
Save this maximum value and rename the test card.
– Detailed measurement with Excel for special investigations.
– Cross-coupling noise of the system: Inject a signal with the CPC 100 into
one channel and read back the amplitude of your signal on any other
channel. For this test, Auto channel detection needs to be cleared. With
a previously done noise level measurement you can measure at the
frequencies with the lowest noise influence from outside to see how good
your test cycle (CPC 100 -> CT/VT -> MU -> CPC 100) is shielded against
cross-talks from other channels. In addition, you can directly inject into the
MU to see how much cross-talk the MU itself causes.
5. Magnitude response of the signal processing chain (15 to 400 Hz):
– Primary injection (of the whole system): By taking the amplitude response
of the signal processing chain (CPC 100 -> CT/VT -> MU -> CPC 100)
you can check the frequency behavior of the whole cycle. Instead, you
can also directly inject into the MU channels to check the amplitude
response.

• Press the I/O (test start/stop) push-button to start the test.
• Select the channels manually by using the soft keys on the right side of the

Use the VTBurden test card to measure a voltage transformer’s secondary
burden with voltage injection on the VT’s secondary side with up to 130V from
AC OUTPUT.
To do so, open the circuit as shown in Figure 4 and inject the AC voltage from
the CPC 100’s 130V ACoutput into the burden.
Input I AC measures the current that flows into the burden, and input V1 AC the
voltage at the burden.
From these measurements, the burden (in VA) and the power factor cos ϕ are
calculated.

Polarity Check
Note: Some test cards are available in more than one test mode. For example,
the test card PolCheck can be selected in CT and VT.
This is solely related to usability. With regard to functionality, the test card
PolCheck is identical in all test modes.
Use the PolCheck test card to check a series of test points for correct polarity.
To do so, the CPC 100 injects a special polarity test signal at a certain location.
This signal can either be a voltage or a current signal from the 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 CPOL accessory, a portable easy-
to-use polarity checker.

CPC 100 V 2.0
If the CPOL detects the same signal characteristic at a test point, it considers
the polarity as OK, and lights up the green LED.
+ If the CPOL detects a signal that is too low, both LEDs light up at the same time.
Remedy: increase the signal magnitude.
Warning: If you detect a wrong polarity in the current path, turn off the
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 the CPOL. In that case, the other LED
should light up.
Warning: Never operate the CPOL with an open battery compartment. A life-
hazardous voltage level may occur in the battery compartment if the CPOL’s
probe touches a test point with high-voltage potential!

Use the RWinding test card to measure the resistance of a power transformer’s
winding. To do so, loop the I DC current signal from the CPC 100 6A DC output
via IAC/DC as shown in Figure 7 and inject it into the transformer’s winding.
IAC/DC measures the injected current, and V DC input measures the voltage
generated at the transformer’s winding. From these values the winding
resistance is calculated.

Due to the significant time span needed for the transformer’s 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 the CPC 100 internal memory. The calculated difference between
the maximum and minimum measured values in % within the last 10 seconds is
displayed.

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

RGround
A good substation grounding system is crucial to protect people from 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 the 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 90º angle (bird’s-eye view) relative to the current path. In any case,
avoid measuring close (< 60º) 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.

Warning: Do not touch the test probe without insulating gloves outside of the

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, for example, 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 state’s specified
trigger condition occurs.
The test object’s characteristic is measured, and the values are displayed in the
measurement table.
The Sequencer test card can be subdivided into three sections:

A series of up to 5 ramps can be defined. The ramps within that series execute
sequentially, and run from a start to an end value within a set period of time.
It is possible to specify a trigger signal that prematurely terminates either
• the entire series of ramps
• or the actual ramp only, and then continues with the next one (if any).
The test object’s characteristic is measured, and the values are displayed in the
measurement table.
The Ramping test card can be subdivided into three sections:

If a trigger signal occurs before this time has elapsed, the currently
running ramp terminates and the series continues with the next ramp. If
"SOOT" is selected, the trigger signal terminates the complete series of
ramps.

The CPC 100 AC OUTPUT feeds the ramped current signal into a CT, which is
connected to an overcurrent relay. The overcurrent relay’s trip contact is fed into
the CPC 100 binary input Bin In, and acts there as a trigger signal (as described
on page 21 of this chapter).

Amplifier
Use the Amplifier test card to set the CPC 100 to an "amplifier-like" mode. In
this mode, an input signal fed into a synchronization input drives the high-current
output’s magnitude, frequency and phase angle.
Select between I AC, V1 AC and V2 AC as 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 250 ms.
Both the "amplification" factor and the phase angle between input and output are
set by the user in the Amplifier test card.
Note: Changes in frequency and phase angle may result in unwanted effects.
Both frequency and phase must be held stable.
Note: The input frequency is limited to a range of 48 ... 62 Hz.

Without compensation
If the capacitance of the test object is smaller than 80 nF, no compensation is
required with a test voltage of up to 12 kV for t on > 2 min. If the test voltage is
lower than 12 kV, it is also possible to test a larger capacitance without
compensation. The needed current can be calculated with I c = ( 2 ⋅ π ⋅ f ) ⋅ C ⋅ U .
The t on time is > 2 min. for currents of up to 300 mA.

If the CP CR500 setting is selected, the calculated output time is shown for the
given configuration (C, L comp. and f test). The output time is limited by the
needed current of the CP TD1 or the duty cycle of the CP CR500. The needed
output current is defined by the losses of the test object, the losses of the
inductors (CP CR500) and the needed capacitive or inductive current if not
testing at resonance frequency f0.

The interface to access the CPC 100 built-in ePC is an Ethernet ( Glossary)
board. The 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 one RJ-45 connector (for CPC 100 V1):

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 the CPC 100 to

CPC 100 in a Network
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 a unique address and all other settings for the 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 the PC and CPC 100 to DHCP/Auto-IP.
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 100 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 for DCHP/Auto IP. 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.

CPC 100 V 2.0
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 the CPC 100, should work without changing any of your PC
settings.
Note: To avoid possible communication problems, we recommend to first fully
boot the CPC 100, then connect the CPC 100 to the PC and eventually start the
CPC 100 Start Page.
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 2000, Vista,
XP” on page 5 of this chapter.
In a network with static IP addresses, your system administrator will provide you
with valid settings for the 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.

CPC 100 in a Network
If the link indicator LED works but you still cannot establish communication, try
to deactivate firewall and/or antivirus 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).
10 - 5
CPC 100 V 2.0
The reason for this is that the DHCP server provides the PC with both a valid
address and an expiration date. The expiration date can be in hours or even
weeks. After the address has expired, you need to change your PC configuration
in order to establish a new communication (if your system administration did not
restrict your setup rights).
Windows 95 and NT 4.0 do not support Auto-IP.
There are two methods of using a Windows 95 or Windows NT 4.0 PC or
notebook alternatively in a network or connected directly to CPC 100 without the
necessity of having to re-configure its settings for each case:
• Installation of a second Ethernet network interface card.
This network card’s port is used exclusively for communication with the
CPC 100. It should be configured statically. It is recommended to set the
network card to the Auto-IP address range:
• IP address: 169.254.77.33 ,
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.0.0 ,
• Default Gateway: 0.0.0.0
• DNS: 0.0.0.0
This way, it is possible to connect your PC to the network using the first
network card’s port, and directly to the CPC 100 using the second network
card’s port.
Set the CPC 100 to DHCP/Auto-IP to connect it to the network or directly to
the PC.
• Setting PC and CPC 100 to a static IP address.
The DHCP server generates addresses within an address range defined by
the subnet mask. In general, it is also possible to set static addresses within
this range.
The addresses need to be provided by your system administrator.
Note: Do not set addresses by your own. Always consult your system
administrator. If, by mistake, an IP address is used twice in the network,
communication of one or both of the devices will fail to work.

General
The CPC Excel File Loader allows loading XML files into Microsoft Excel
templates for post processing. The CPC Excel File Loader is installed with the
CPC 100 Start Page. After the installation, you can start the
CPC Excel File Loader directly from the CPC 100 Start Page by clicking on the
respective icon.

CPC Excel File Loader
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 the
CPC 100 and guide the user through the test. Once completed, the XML file is
saved, downloaded to the PC and then loaded 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 the CPC 100 and
the evaluation of results.
Note: The version of the two templates must match. There is a version check. If
an error message appears after loading the XML template, the templates do not
match. Thus, use a template pair of the same version.
To run a test procedure according to a template:
1. Upload the XML template or a whole folder of templates for the intended
application from the PC to the CPC 100.
The XML templates (*.xmt files) are available on the CPC 100 Start Page.
2. Open the template on the 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. Open the corresponding Microsoft Excel template by double-clicking the
*.xlt file in the folder labeled with the test procedure name. A Microsoft
Excel workbook appears.
6. Click the Load XML-File button and open the *.xml file directly from your
CPC 100. The CPC Excel File Loader loads the test results from the XML file
to the Microsoft Excel template.
7. After all worksheets are filled with data, the test results are calculated and
displayed.

Warning: If you detect a wrong polarity in the current path, turn off the
CPC 100 first, and only then disconnect the terminals.
Warning: Never operate the CPOL with an open battery compartment. A life-
hazardous voltage level may occur in the battery compartment if the CPOL’s
probe touches a test point with high-voltage potential!

CP SA1
Figure 7:
CP SA1
The CP SA1 is a surge arrester unit providing extra protection to the operating
staff and the CPC 100 against high-voltage hazards while performing
transformer winding resistance measurements. In case of unwanted disruption
of the current path, high voltage due to the inductance of the transformer’s
winding appears on the transformer’s terminals and the current can flow through
the voltage path to the CPC 100 V DC input. If high voltage appears for a short
time on the transformer’s terminals, an arc discharges the voltage and
extinguishes without destroying the CP SA1. If the arc persists for a longer time
period, the surge arrester insulator melts and thereby short-circuits the terminals
to ground. Figure 8 below shows the circuit diagram of the CP SA1.
