Megavar delivered HV testing and protection system commissioning for the Bluegrass BESS (Blue Grass) project in Queensland's Western Downs, working in partnership with
• Combines breaker timing, travel, and contact resistance testing in one unit
• Supports grounded main contacts (no need to remove ground leads)
• Tests open/close, bounce, pre-insertion, and reclosing sequences
• Works with all types of circuit breakers: SF6, vacuum, and oil
• Measures coil currents, motor currents, auxiliary contact timing
• Integrates digital travel transducers (linear or rotary) for motion analysis
• Fully automated test sequences with PTM software
• Rugged, field-ready design with compact footprint
• No need for external modules or additional control boxes
• Supplied with timing cables, travel sensors (on request), clamps, software, and transport case

Megavar engineers use this unit on commissioning projects across Australia. Hire it from a team that knows it inside out.
It tests the key performance parameters of circuit breakers including open/close timing, contact resistance, coil and motor current, and mechanical travel.
Yes. The CIBANO 500 is designed for all breaker types, including single- and three-phase actuators, with flexible test configurations.
Yes. One of its key advantages is the ability to test circuit breakers with both sides grounded, improving safety and reducing disconnection effort.
Yes. It supports linear and rotary travel sensors to analyse stroke, overtravel, velocity, and bounce of moving breaker parts.
Yes. CIBANO 500 integrates fully with OMICRON’s PTM software for test control, reporting, data storage, and automated workflows.
Yes. The system is lightweight and housed in a rugged case, ideal for substation and field use.
The rental package includes the CIBANO 500 main unit, timing cables, ductor cables, auxiliary leads, PTM software, and carry case. Travel sensors and clamps are available on request.
Yes. CIBANO can be used alongside CPC 100, CT Analyzer, or MPD systems for a comprehensive substation test suite, though it operates fully independently as well.
Yes. We provide full technical support including setup guidance, test configuration assistance, and help interpreting results.
Minimum hire is 3 days. Weekly and monthly discounts are available.
