In commissioning, maintenance, and diagnostic routines, the consistency of tests and the quality of technical evidence are just as important as speed of execution. In this context, the CE-6710 stands out as a portable universal tester that combines, in a single piece of equipment, essential functionalities for secondary-level testing — with applications both in the field and in the laboratory.
With full support for IEC 61850 and IEC 61869 standards, the CE-6710 was developed to deliver versatility, accuracy, and productivity, enabling technical teams to standardize procedures, reduce rework, and increase the reliability of their deliveries.

What the CE-6710 is (and why it is “universal”)
The CE-6710 is a testing tool designed to cover multiple typical scenarios in protection, automation, control, and metering. The proposal is simple: to concentrate resources that would often require more than one instrument — while maintaining signal generation accuracy, operational flexibility, and a productivity-oriented interface.
Because it is portable and software-controlled, it adapts well to different routines:
- execution of tests focused on commissioning and acceptance
- periodic maintenance validations
- verification and calibration of metering instruments
- support for diagnostics and behavioral analysis of equipment
Main secondary-level applications
Protection relay testing
The CE-6710 enables testing of electromechanical, static, and microprocessor-based relays, covering both legacy applications and more modern architectures. This makes it easier to standardize tests even in plants with diverse technologies and manufacturers.
Metering and power quality instrument calibration
Due to its high accuracy in signal generation, the equipment can be used for calibrating transducers, meters, and power quality analyzers, contributing to traceability and confidence in operational data.
Circuit breaker oscillography
Another relevant application is circuit breaker oscillography, supporting the assessment of equipment performance and providing technical inputs for diagnostics and maintenance decisions.
Technical features that support different testing scenarios
Among the CE-6710’s key differentiators, the following stand out:
- 6 current channels and 4 voltage channels with high accuracy
- Virtual instrumentation: equipment fully controlled by software
- Support for manual and automatic tests, according to routine needs
- Waveform generation via Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
- Continuous operating frequency of up to 3 kHz, expanding the range of applications and validations
In practice, this means greater flexibility to perform everything from more direct tests to more complete routines, while maintaining standardization and repeatability.
IEC 61850 and IEC 61869: why support matters
Support for IEC 61850 and IEC 61869 is particularly relevant for organizations seeking to raise technical maturity in digital environments, with a focus on integration, interoperability, and testing compliance. In projects where the level of demand for technical evidence is high, relying on a tester aligned with these standards contributes to:
- better predictability and consistency in commissioning
- reduction of gaps between design, testing, and operation
- increased reliability in equipment and system validations
Conclusion
The CE-6710 is a strategic solution for teams that need versatility in the field, accuracy in the laboratory, and a productivity-oriented workflow — without giving up standards compliance and good engineering practices. By centralizing critical functionalities in a single piece of equipment, it directly supports the standardization of routines and the quality of technical deliveries in protection, automation, control, and metering.
