and use powerful zoom functions. CABA Win simpli-
fies testing and ensures top-quality results.
CABA Win can be used for all applications, rang-
ing from time measurement to dynamic resistance
and vibration measurements. All settings are done
automatically from the test plan provided for each
circuit breaker. After a breaker is defined the first time
it is tested, all of the data is kept together, thereby
enabling CABA Win to step you through the test
procedure in exactly the same way each time the
circuit breaker is tested. This saves time, and since all
tests are conducted using exactly the same settings
regardless of who did the original testing, full and
complete comparisons can be made from one test
occasion to the next.
All test and circuit breaker data are saved together
with the unique test plan. It is also possible to enter
the results of tests done manually, and to enter
separate comments for the breaker regarding the test
in question. After the test, the circuit breaker with its
tests can be moved to the database.

Nominal stroke
Specifies the nominal stroke length for the circuit
breaker. This value is normally used when measuring
with field-calibrated (“uncalibrated”) transducers. The
transducer is calibrated to the specified stroke length
in the first single operation of a test. This method also
goes under the name "Relative measurement". See
chapter “Transducers”.

it or not. there is a 1:1 ratio to actual contact travel – an ideal
situation that simplifies both transducer calibration
and the processing of output data.
However, on many breakers it is impossible to attach
a transducer to the moving contact. Some users solve
this problem by measuring the motion of another
point on the breaker and using the result as a breaker
footprint (signature) or as a reference measure-
ment that can be compared with future test results.
Unfortunately, this may make it more difficult to
calculate parameter values that correspond exactly to
the manufacturer’s specifications.
Conversion tables
With CABA Win, there is a solution to the problem.
If the ratio between the transducer attachment point
and the moving contact is known, a conversion factor
or conversion table can be used together with a
calibrated transducer. CABA Win can thus reproduce
actual contact travel and calculate the parameters
properly.
Stroke
In CABA Win the breaker stroke is called the nominal
stroke. This should be assigned to the breaker when
the breaker is first defined. When testing a breaker,
the assigned nominal stroke is used as the default
value, which you can either confirm or change. This
value is used for field calibration of the transducer.
Calibrated transducer
In CABA Win there are two transducer/method
choices: ”Calibrated transducer” (Absolute meas-
urement) and ”Uncalibrated transducer” (Relative
measurement). The first uses a transducer defined in
the transducer list, while the second uses a transducer
defined at the test.
”Calibrated transducer” is to be used when the ratio
between the actual contact travel and the measure-
ment position is known, and the transducer has been

use them in subsequent tests. This provides directly
comparable test data. Analysis is meaningless if the
measurement positions are not identical.
Connection
The accelerometers are connected to the Megger
SCA606 Preamplifier/Signal Conditioning Unit. The
SCA606 supplies the accelerometers with the neces-
sary power and also conditions the output signal
by amplification and filtering. The vibration signals
are sent to the analog inputs of the circuit breaker
analyzer.

9.3 Vibration analysis

The vibration analysis method in CABA Win is called
Dynamic Time Warping (DTW). DTW entails searching
across time for similarities in two signals and reporting/
presenting the best possible matching between the
vibration signatures.
Comparisons between the two signals are based on
frequency analysis (FFT). The frequency content and
amplitude of the recorded time signal are analyzed
each millisecond and the results are compared with a
corresponding analysis of the reference signal. DTW
analysis requires a high bandwidth and dynamic range.
The mechanical events that are to be measured and
analyzed generate transient vibrations and/or sounds
having substantial frequency content and wide level
differences. The TM1600/MA61-S/CABA Win system,
with 14-bit resolution and 40 kHz sampling frequency,
supports frequency analysis up to 15 kHz. The TM1700
and TM1800 work with 16-bit resolution and 40 kHz
sampling frequency.
The analysis program searches for the best possible
match between signals and presents its findings in a
time vs. time diagram. In a perfect match, vibrations
at each millisecond of the measured signal correspond
exactly to the vibrations at these same times in the
reference signal. The time vs. time diagram illustrates
that each mechanical event occurring in the circuit
breaker corresponds to an event that occurred at the
same time in the reference test. The analysis therefore
indicates that there has been no change over time.
The result from the best possible time match between
the two signals is presented in the analysis as a devia-
tion diagram on which the total difference (fault) is
shown in decibels (dB). A perfect match indicates that
the signals are identical and that any deviation and/or
fault is minimal. Thismeans that for each event taking
place in the circuit breaker, a corresponding event
occurred during the reference test. Consequently, no
mechanical change has taken place.

The diagram illustrates an example in which a second test was

conducted on the same circuit breaker immediately after the
first test. As the figure illustrates there has been no change
between tests, and the anaysis plainly corroborates this. The
time vs. time diagram shows no deviation between measure-
ments, and the deviation diagram shows low values through-
out the entire time cycle.

Timing errors in a circuit breaker lead primarily to devia-

tions in the time vs. time diagram. The analysis shows
that the circuit breaker has about a 10 ms delay and the
deviation diagram shows low values throughout the entire
time cycle. The timing error occurred at the beginning of
the cycle, but after about 100 ms when the circuit breaker
started to move, the events are in synchronism. This is
indicated in the analysis by the fact that the timing error
remains constant throughout the rest of the operation.
The measurements show that the circuit breaker is faulty
in some way when contact travel is being initiated, thereby
causing a delay. Faulty lubrication might case this. The
deviation diagram shows low values, indicating that the
circuit breaker, after the initial delay, performed the same
motion as recorded during the reference test.

Mechanical deviations are illustrated in the last example.

9.4 Performing a vibration

must ignore deviations and time differences for time
periods at the beginning and end of the operation
where there are no events to analyze. To perform a vibration test
1] Connect the TM1600/MA61-S, TM1700 or
TM1800 to the circuit breaker the same way
as in a standard time-travel test.
2] Select mounting positions for the
accelerometer(-s), attach the sensors to the
circuit breaker and connect them to the
SCA606. The ”Error” indication is lit when no
transducer is connected or if the transducer/
cable is broken.
3] Select an appropriate gain setting on the
SCA606 unit and operate the circuit breaker.

If the ”overload” indicator turns on, select a

lower gain setting, if not, try a higher set-
ting. The optimum setting is one step below
”overload” setting.
4] Start CABA Win, define the breaker and se-
lect an appropriate test plan. Note that there
are different test plans for vibration testing
depending on the number of mechanisms
and sensor positions.
5] Make sure the accelerometers are calibrated
in the transducer list. See section ”Transduc-
ers”
6] Start a new test, select an operation, select
transducers, check the connection list and
measure.
7] CABA Win presents the results. Adjust the
graph/display if necessary. Close the window
and save the test.
8] Continue with the next operation.
9] To perform a DTW-analysis, start by opening
the actual test for analysis.
10] Select “Compare” and “DTW-analysis”
11] Select the starting time for the analysis. Max.
time window for the analysis is 190 ms and if
the recording time is longer, make sure the
analysis is performed over an appropriate
time period.
12] Select the reference measurement for this
circuit breaker. This is preferably a former
measurement on the same breaker. If there
are no previous measurements available it
is sometimes possible to use measurements
from other breakers of the same type as
reference.
13] The DTW-analysis is performed and the
comparison is displayed as an overlay in the
analysis window. Make sure the “deviation”
and “time-time” graphs are active to see the
results of the analysis.
14] Report the analysis, on a template with a
graph printout.
15] Close the recording. Please Note that the
DTW-analysis can not be stored since it is a
unique comparison between two individual
recordings.

need to be stripped.
4] For the duplex connector end (connected to
TM1600): Place the crimp ring and the con-
nector over the end of the cable; the fibre
should protrude about 3 mm (0.12 ") trough
the end of the connector. Carefully position
the ring so that it is entirely on the connector
with the rim of the crimp ring flush with the
connector, leaving a small space between the
crimp ring and the flange. Then crimp the
ring in place with the crimping tool.
5] The single connectors at the modem side
have to be separated in two parts to remove
of the old fibre.
6] Then place both contact parts over the fibre
end and tighten them together. The fibre
should protrude a few millimetres through
the end of the connector.
7] Any excess fibre protruding from the con-
nector may be cut off; however, the trimmed
fibre should extend at least 1.5 mm (0.06")
from the connector end.
8] Place a 600 grit abrasive paper on a flat
smooth surface. Polish the fibre using a fig-
ure eight pattern of strokes until the fibre is
flush with the connector. The connector must
be held perpendicular to the abrasive paper
during the polishing.
9] Connect the fibre cable to the modem. Make
sure that the transmitter of the fibre modem
is connected to the receiver of TM1600 and
vice versa. The cable is now ready for use.
