OMICRON'S CMC 500 sets a new benchmark in protection testing
EPR Magazine (Electrical & Power Review)|December 2024
Communication protocols such as GOOSE, R-GOOSE, MMS and Sampled Values (including those with configurable datasets) are supported, enabling testing of both current and future relay generations.
OMICRON'S CMC 500 sets a new benchmark in protection testing

The modular, multi-phase CMC 500 protection relay test set enables highly efficient testing of protection relays and complete validation of protection systems. It sets new benchmarks for output performance, versatility, cybersecurity, and workplace safety. With up to seven voltages (300 V each) or ten currents (30 to 60 A per channel, 450 A singlephase), the CMC 500 supports a wide range of applications, making it ideal for field use and commissioning in conventional, hybrid and digital IEC 61850 substations. The device is available in five variants, each compact and lightweight (12.1-15.6 kg) to suit specific needs.
