1.2.3 Safety accessories
OMICRON offers a range of accessories for added safety during the operation of our test systems. For
further information and specifications, refer to the corresponding Supplementary Sheet or contact
OMICRON Support.
1.3 Operating the measurement setup
The CP TD1 works as an add-on device to the CPC 100, CPC 80 or TESTRANO 600 which controls the
measurement. In this manual, those devices are collectively named Control Device if no specific device
is referred to. Do not connect the CP TD1 to any other device than the CPC 100, CPC 80 or the
TESTRANO 600.
Only personnel qualified in electrical engineering and trained by OMICRON are authorized to operate
the CP TD1.
► Before starting the work, clearly establish the responsibilities.
Personnel receiving training, instructions, directions, or education on the CP TD1 must be under
constant supervision of an experienced operator while working with the equipment.
The operator is responsible for the safety requirements during the whole test.
► Do not enter the high-voltage area if the red warning light of the Control Device is on since all outputs
can carry dangerous voltage or current!
► Always obey the five safety rules and follow the detailed safety instructions in the respective user
manuals.

Safety instructions
Before performing tests using high voltage, observe the following instructions:
► Do not use the test equipment without a good connection to substation ground.
► Do not insert objects (for example screwdrivers, etc.) into any input/output socket.
► Do not operate the CP TD1 under ambient conditions that exceed the temperature and humidity limits
listed in 12.2 "Environmental Conditions" on page 109.
► Make sure to position the test equipment on dry, solid ground.
► Do not operate the CP TD1 in the presence of explosives, gas or vapors.
► Opening the CP TD1 invalidates all warranty claims.
► Do not use an extension cable on a cable reel to prevent an overheating of the cord; run out the
extension cord.
►If the CP TD1 does not seem to function properly, do not use it anymore. Please call the OMICRON
technical support.
1.4 Handling cables
► Always turn off the CP TD1 completely before you connect or disconnect any cable (disconnect the
CPC 100 from mains or press its Emergency Stop button).
► The high-voltage cable must always be well attached and tightly connected to both the CP TD1 and
the test object. A loose or even falling off connector at the test object carrying high-voltage is life-
hazardous. Make sure the connectors are clean and dry before connecting.
At the CP TD1, press the high-voltage cable’s plug to the connector tightly and turn the screw cap
until you feel a mechanical stop. If you notice a rough-running of the screw-cap, clean the screw
thread and use a lubricant (Vaseline recommended).
At the test object, insert the high-voltage cables’ plugs carefully until you feel a "click" position. Now
they are locked. Confirm this by trying to pull them out. This should not be possible now.
Note: Tighten the plugs manually. Do not use any tools for that because that can damage the plugs
or connectors.
Insert the yellow banana plug (the high-voltage cable’s grounding) into the respective plug socket.
► Do not connect any cable to the test object without a visible grounding of the test object.
► The high-voltage cable is double-shielded and therefore safe. However, the last 50cm (20 inch) of
this cable have no shield. Therefore, during a test consider this cable a life wire and due to the high-
voltage life-hazardous!
► When the CPC 100 is switched on, consider this part of the cable has to be in the high-voltage area
due to a hazard of electric shock!
► Never remove any cables from the CP TD1 or the test object during a test.
► Keep clear from zones in which high voltages may occur. Set up a barrier or establish similar
adequate means.
► Both low-voltage measuring cables must always be well attached and tightly connected to the
CP TD1’s measuring inputs IN A and IN B.
Make sure to insert the red and blue marked cables into the corresponding measuring inputs: IN A =
red, IN B = blue.
Tighten the plugs by turning them until you feel a stop.
Note: Tighten the plugs manually. Do not use any tools for that because that can damage the plugs
or connectors.
► Do not use any other cables than the ones supplied by OMICRON.

2 Introduction
2.1 Designated use
The CP TD1 works as an add-on device to the CPC 100, CPC 80 or TESTRANO 600 which controls the
measurement. In this manual, those devices are collectively named Control Device if no specific device
is referred to. Do not connect the CP TD1 to any other Control Device than the CPC 100, CPC 80 or the
TESTRANO 600.
The CP TD1 is an optionally available high-precision test system for on-site insulation tests of high-
voltage systems like power and measuring transformers, circuit breakers, capacitors and isolators. With
the add-on device CP TD1, the Control Device increases its range of possible applications into high-
voltage measurements.
The internal switched mode power amplifier enables measuring at different frequencies without
interferences with the mains frequency. Automatic test procedures reduce the testing time to a minimum.
Test reports are generated automatically.
When used with the CPC 100 or CPC 80, the CP TD1 comes with its own CPC test card named
TanDelta (Tangent Delta), which provides highly accurate measurements of the capacitance Cx and the
dissipation factor tanδ (DF) or power factor cosϕ (PF), respectively.
Additionally, the CP TD1 measures the following quantities:
• Actual, apparent and reactive power
• Quality factor QF
• Inductance
• Impedance, phase angle
• Test voltage & current
The CP TD1 can also be used as high-voltage source.
Any other use of the CP TD1 but the one mentioned above is considered improper use, and will not only
invalidate all customer warranty claims but also exempt the manufacturer from its liability to recourse.
2.2 Functional components of the Control Devices and
the CP TD1
On the following pages the functional components of the different Control Devices (CPC 100, CPC 80
and TESTRANO 600) and the CP TD1 as well as the trolley options for the different device combinations
