Abstract :
The functionality of high-voltage circuit breakers is tested in high-power laboratories. Due to the necessary power and the physical size of the equipment, testing is rather expensive and time consuming. The steps followed so far by the authors in order to enable the digital testing of HV circuit breakers are described in this paper. At the end of the article, examples of digital testing are also presented
