OMICRON

When investigating a relay or protection system, the measurement and recording of analog and binary signals is a key analytical tool of the protection engineer. The CMC 256plus and CMC 356 test sets contain a powerful 10-channel transient recorder and measurement function which utilizes the OMICRON EnerLyzer software.

The EnerLyzer software option enables the test sets to do 10 channel transient recording at sample rates up to 28 kHz. It is a multimeter for I, V, f, S, P, Q, cos phi and it provides trend recording for I, V, f, S, P. EnerLyzer can also provide a powerful harmonics analysis functionality.

With the EnerLyzer option, the measuring functions can also be used simultaneously with the generation of output signals in order to carry out signal monitoring. There is also a range of trigger functions that include Power Quality values. Typical applications are recording real power transformer inrush currents to verify the transformer protection does not inadvertently operate during such inrush conditions or verifying generator synchronization accuracy during commissioning of a new power plant.
