Demonstration of OMICRON Test Equipment at Siemens Bulgaria

In March 2026, Contragent 35 Ltd. and OMICRON Electronics GmbH conducted a joint demonstration at Siemens Bulgaria Ltd. The highlight of the event was the CIBANO 500 system—the world’s first “3-in-1” circuit breaker testing solution, combining a multi-channel timing and contact travel analyzer, a high-precision micro-ohmmeter for static and dynamic resistance measurements, and an adjustable AC/DC power supply for testing coils and motors.

The system offers significant advantages for field operations, including higher speed and improved safety through reduced wiring and the elimination of multiple devices, integrated reporting with a single test report, and a lightweight, mobile design. Its expandability is ensured through a range of accessories and EtherCAT connectivity.

During the event, testing of Siemens protection relays using the OMICRON CMC 500 was also demonstrated, showcasing enhanced accuracy and reliability in protection system verification.

Additional presentations of OMICRON equipment will take place from 8–12 June 2026, when a dedicated demonstration truck will visit Bulgaria. This will provide an opportunity to become familiar with the devices and ask questions about OMICRON solutions for testing circuit breakers, power transformers, instrument transformers, and protection relays.
