3 Introduction
Primary Test Manager is a management tool for testing primary assets such as power transformers,
circuit breakers, and current transformers with the OMICRON test systems. Primary Test Manager
provides a computer interface to the test set, controls the automated test procedures, and facilitates
testing of primary assets by guiding you through the test workflow.
Primary Test Manager uses the concept of jobs. A job contains all relevant information about the
location, the asset under test, and the tests. With Primary Test Manager, you can process jobs as
separate entities.
With Primary Test Manager, you can create new jobs, manage locations, assets, jobs, and reports, and
execute prepared jobs. For a specified job, you can make measurements on the asset under test by just
pressing the I/0 button on the front panel of the CPC 100 test system. After you have performed a test,
you can generate exhaustive test reports. Primary Test Manager runs on a computer and communicates
with the test set through the Ethernet connection.

 Introduction

3.1 The test set

Primary Test Manager controls the test set consisting of the CPC 100 multifunctional test system, the
CP TD capacitance and power/dissipation factor measuring instrument, and the CP SB1 transformer
switch box.

3.2 Installing Primary Test Manager

For the minimum requirements your computer needs to run the Primary Test Manager software, see
2 "System requirements" on page 11.
To install Primary Test Manager:
1. Connect the computer’s Ethernet port to the network connector of the CPC 100 test system using an
Ethernet cable.
Note: You can operate Primary Test Manager without connection to the CPC 100. To perform tests,
the computer running Primary Test Manager must be connected to the CPC 100.
2. Switch on the CPC 100.
3. Put the Primary Test Manager DVD in the DVD drive of your computer and follow the instructions on
the screen.
Note: Upgrade your CPC 100 during the installation, if necessary.

3.3 Firewall configuration

If you can not connect to your CPC 100, check your firewall configuration as a correct firewall
configuration is essential for successful establishing a communication between CPC 100 and your
computer.
Note: Any change to the firewall settings mentioned in this section requires administrator rights on your
computer.

Windows firewall
The configuration of the Windows firewall is carried out automatically during the installation of Primary
Test Manager. However, in certain cases this may have no immediate effect.
► To prevent the Windows firewall from blocking communication, (temporarily) disable it via the
Windows Control panel.
If you are now able to successfully establish communication, the Windows firewall was the reason for
the blocked communication between your test set and your computer.
► Reconfigure the Windows firewall in order to enable a permanent use of the test set without having
to disable the Windows firewall.

Third-party firewall
► If you are using a firewall other than the Windows firewall, temporarily disable it to see if this firewall
may be the cause for the blocked communication.
Note: Numerous computer security programs or anti-virus packages also contain an integrated firewall
function. Double-check and, if applicable, remove all such programs that may be installed on your
computer.

4.3 Data synchronization

Primary Test Manager comes with the client/server architecture. With this feature, you can synchronize
your local database with the Primary Test Manager server database.
Note: To synchronize your data, you need a license. To get the license, contact your regional OMICRON
Service Center or sales partner. You can find our Service Center or sales partner closest to you at
www.omicronenergy.com.
The data synchronization is partial data replication based on subscriptions, that is, all local data is
synchronized with the server database and selected data on the server is synchronized with the local
database.

16 Voltage transformer tests

In this chapter, the settings and measurement data of the voltage transformer tests are described. For
more information about testing with the CPC 100, see the CPC 100 User Manual shipped with your test
system.
Note: Some test names depend on the Profile selected in the Settings (see "Profiles" on page 26). For
your convenience, you can use your preferred naming to, for example, match regional conventions:
• IEEE standard: Power factor (PF) for the loss indicator.
• IEC standard: Dissipation factor (DF) for the loss indicators.
• Custom profiles: Power factor (PF), Dissipation factor (DF) or Tangent delta (Tanδ) for the loss
indicator.
The dissipation factor and the tangent delta are identical characteristics of the primary asset under test.

Primary Test Manager supports the following voltage transformer tests:

• VT PF & CAP1,2
• VT Ratio
• VT Burden

17.3 Partial Discharge HV Source

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
► Never use the CP TD without a solid connection to ground with at least 6 mm².
► Use a ground point as close as possible to the test object.
► Make sure to position the test object in the high-voltage area.

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
The high-voltage cable is double-shielded and therefore safe. However, the last 50 cm (20 inches)
of this cable have no shield.
► Avoid any direct contact of this part of the cable to ground potential or to any objects.
► During a test, consider this part of the cable a live wire and, due to the high-voltage, life-
threatening.
The CPC 100 is used as a high-voltage sweep source for parallel Partial Discharge (PD) measurements
on a rotating machine with the MPD.

In this chapter, the settings and measurement data of the grounding system tests are described. For
more information about safe testing with the HGT1 and the CPC 100, refer to the respective User
Manuals.
► For information on the grounding system and the corresponding maps, refer to 11.7 "Grounding

18.1 Ground impedance measurement

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
In case of a high-current ground fault within the substation or at the transmission tower during the
test, high voltages may occur in any wire connected to the grounding grid or leading away from it.
► Do not touch the current probe, the potential probe, or any wire without insulating gloves.
► First insert the current probe, then connect it to the provided clamp.
► Before removing the current probe, disconnect the clamp.

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current possible
The auxiliary current probe carries-life threatening voltages during the test.
In case of an error, unexpected high voltages can occur at any time. The step voltage around the
auxiliary current probe can also be quite high.
► Always press the emergency stop button before working with the auxiliary current probe or the
associated wiring cables.
► Mark an area of 10 m (30 ft) around the electrode as dangerous zone and position a guard
outside this area to keep people from entering the dangerous zone.

NOTICE
If the desired current cannot be reached or an overload occurs, the contact resistance of the auxiliary
current probe to the soil may be too high. Place several electrodes at a distance of a few meters and
connect them all together to keep the resistance to the soil low. This also reduces the hazard due to
high voltages around the electrode.

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
Employ the proper test set.
► Never use COMPANO 100 to directly inject currents into power cables or overhead lines. If direct
injection should become inevitable, use the CPC 100 test set together with CP CU1 and CP GB1.
In case of a high-current ground fault within the substation or at the transmission tower during
the test, high voltages may occur in any wire connected to the grounding grid or leading away
from it.
► Do not touch the current probe, the potential probe, or any wire without insulating gloves.
► First insert the current probe, then connect it to the provided clamp. Before removing the current
probe, disconnect the clamp

WARNING
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current possible
The auxiliary current probe carries life threatening voltages during the test. The step voltage
around the auxiliary current probe can also be quite high.
► Always press the emergency stop button before working with the auxiliary current probe or the
associated wiring cables.
► Mark an area of 10 m (30 ft) around the electrode as dangerous zone and position a guard

19.3 Quick
Quick is the standard test with which all outputs and inputs of the CPC 100 can be freely configured. This
makes it possible to perform a manual test configuration.
Quick only supports the CPC 100 test set.

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
Together with the test object’s capacitance, the leakage inductance of the CPC 100’s internal
output transformer forms a series resonant circuit. Especially at frequencies > 50 / 60 Hz this may
result in voltage superelevation.
► When testing capacitive test objects using voltages ≥ 500 V, make sure that the test object’s
capacitance does not exceed 25 nF.

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
► Never use Quick in combination with a DC output on test objects with highly capacitive
characteristics.
► Mind the danger of test object’s charged capacitance. Before connecting or disconnecting any
leads, use a grounding/discharging rod
► to discharge all terminals of the test object.
► to connect all terminals of the test object to ground and short-circuit all capacitances.

DANGER
Death or severe injury caused by high voltage or current
► Never use Quick to measure the resistance of windings with highly inductive characteristics.
Turning off the DC source results in life-threatening voltage levels.
► For this kind of measurement only use the special winding resistance tests.
