Megavar delivered HV testing and protection system commissioning for the Bluegrass BESS (Blue Grass) project in Queensland's Western Downs, working in partnership with
• High-precision secondary injection of current and voltage signals
• Test single- and three-phase protection relays (overcurrent, distance, differential, etc.)
• Outputs AC/DC voltage and current with high stability and accuracy
• Time synchronisation and measurement for relay timing verification
• Manual and automated testing modes via Test Universe or Test Universe software
• GPS time synchronisation via the Omicron CMGPS 588 accessory (separate hire) and IRIG-B sync support (model dependent)
• Ethernet and USB connectivity for data handling and test control
• Portable and rugged design for field and lab applications
• Compatible with IEC 61850 and conventional protection schemes
• Supplied with test leads, software, laptop (on request), and hard carry case

Our protection commissioning teams use the CMC 356 weekly on transmission relay testing across the NEM.
It performs secondary injection tests by simulating voltage, current, frequency, and system conditions to test protection relays and substation control systems.
It can test a wide range of protection relays including overcurrent, distance, differential, voltage, frequency, directional, and transformer protection relays.
Yes. Most advanced CMC models (like CMC 356 or 353) support IEC 61850 protocols for testing digital substation systems.
Test Universe is OMICRON’s software suite used with the CMC series. It enables manual and automated test workflows, report generation, and advanced simulation.
Yes. The CMC is capable of calibrating and testing energy meters, transducers, and other IEDs with high accuracy.
The rental package includes the CMC test set, test leads, software access, power cables, carry case, and optional laptop pre-loaded with Test Universe.
Yes. We offer remote support for configuring test plans, using the software, and interpreting results. Training sessions are also available on request.
Yes. The CMC is rugged, portable, and built for onsite use in substations, industrial facilities, and commissioning environments.
