OMICRON CIBANO 500 – 3-in-1 Circuit Breaker Test System
Main Functions
The CIBANO 500 is a compact and portable test system for medium- and high-voltage circuit breakers, combining three key functions:
Multi-channel timing and travel analyzer
High-precision micro-ohm (µΩ) meter
2.4 kW adjustable AC/DC coil and motor power supply
Key Benefits
All-in-one testing device reduces setup time and simplifies logistics
One-time wiring for all tests saves up to 50% testing time
Tests can be performed while the breaker is grounded on both sides
Integrated power supply eliminates the need to connect to live DC circuits
Suitable for AIS, GIS, live-tank, and dead-tank breakers
Safe and independent operation, minimizing risks
Lightweight (approx. 20 kg) for easy transport
Supported Test Types
Off-Service Tests
Timing (IEC 62271-100 compliant)
Static & Dynamic Contact Resistance
