 INDUSTRY EXPERTISE

PRIMARY INJECTION TESTING

Okusha Engineering only makes use of the best equipment for primary injection testing, the Omicron CPC100. The CPC 100 can perform various tests on:

  • Current Transformers
  • Voltage Transformers
  • Power transformers
  • Power lines
  • High Voltage cables
  • Grounding systems
  • Rotating machines
  • Switchgear and circuit breakers
  • IEC 61850 installations
  • Protection relays

SECONDARY INJECTION TESTING

The CMC 356 is a universal solution for testing all types and generations of protection relays.

Its versatility makes it suitable for both modern digital and older electromechanical systems, streamlining relay testing across various applications.

Equipped with six powerful current sources and a highly dynamic output range, it can handle high-burden electromechanical relays with demanding power requirements—ensuring accurate and reliable test results in any environment.

ARC FLASH ANALYSIS GRADING & SETTINGS

By using DIgSILENT PowerFactory, Okusha Engineering can accurately model any power system.

This detailed model serves as the foundation for fault level calculations, protection grading and settings, as well as arc flash analysis.

The data obtained from these studies allows our engineers to design safer, more stable, and optimized power systems—ensuring reliability, compliance, and improved system performance.
