    VBO3 User Manual Cleaning and disposal 1.4.1 Cleaning To clean VBO3, use a cloth dampened with isopropanol alcohol. Prior to cleaning, always disconnect VBO3 from the CMC test set and from the test object. 1.4.2 Information for disposal and recycling This device (including all accessories) is not intended for household use.
  • Page 7: Safety Instructions

    Equipment damage or loss of data possible. Rules for use ► VBO3 and its accessories must only be used when in a technically sound condition. Its use must be in accordance with the safety regulations for the specific job site and application.
  • Page 8: Safe Operation Procedures

    ► Only work in well lit areas. If there is not enough daylight, use a strong light to make sure that you see everything and so ensure your safety. ► Keep your work area clean to avoid accidents. ► If VBO3 seems to be functioning improperly or has visible damages, please contact the OMICRON Technical Support (→ page 23).

  • Page 11: Wiring

    Wiring Wiring You can connect VBO3 to CMC 430 test sets as well as to other OMICRON CMC test sets (CMC 256plus, CMC 310, CMC 353, and CMC 356). Note, however, that the wiring and the configuration in the Test Universe software are different depending on the respective use case. For more information on how to configure the control software, see page 17.
  • Page 12: Connecting Vbo3 To A Cmc 430

    5.1.1 Max. 300 V output voltage There is no star point at the VBO3 voltage inputs. Usually, a star point is not necessary for use with a CMC 430 test set. However, if you would like to use the CMC 430 like one of OMICRON's other CMC test sets and require an output voltage of only max.
  • Page 13: Max. 600 V Output Voltage

    5.1.2 Max. 600 V output voltage There is no star point at the VBO3 voltage inputs. However, a star point is not necessary for use with a CMC 430 test set when an output voltage of 0 ... 600 V is required. You can simply connect the voltage outputs of the CMC 430 to the VBO3 inputs using connection cables with 4 mm safety banana plugs (included in the delivery).
  • Page 14: Connecting Vbo3 To Other Cmcs

    Connecting VBO3 to other CMCs There is no star point at the VBO3 voltage inputs. Therefore, you need to create one when connecting a CMC test set other than the CMC 430 (i.e., the CMC 256plus, CMC 310, CMC 353, or CMC 356): •...

    Configuring VBO3 in the control software Configuring VBO3 in the control software Configuration in Test Universe To configure the voltage outputs in Test Universe: 1. Launch a Test Universe module of your choice, and go to the Hardware Configuration. 2. On the General tab, select your CMC from the Test Set(s) list.

  • Page 17: Calculation Of Voltage Ratio

    Configuring VBO3 in the control software Calculation of voltage ratio Without load, the voltage ratio between the primary and secondary side of VBO3 is roughly 1 : 2.16. In real-life testing scenarios with load, however, the voltage ratio will be lower. To ensure accurate testing conditions, you need to determine the true voltage ratio under load conditions and enter the corresponding value in Test Universe.
  • Page 18 1. Connect the CMC test set to VBO3 (as shown in section Wiring on page 11). 2. Connect the load by connecting the VBO3 secondary outputs to the test object. 3. Connect the multimeter as shown in the example below. Multimeter...

  • Page 20: Setup With Omicron Transport Case

    Setup with OMICRON transport case If you are using VBO3 in combination with a CMC 430, you can create a joint test setup with both devices in an OMICRON transport case. Simply detach VBO3's handle to conveniently use the voltage transformer without needing to take it out of the transport case.
