The paper presents the results of practical application of an instrumentation and analytical system (IAS) for X-ray control of minimum oil and SF6 circuit breakers. The capabilities of IAS are described and the technology for its implementation is given. It is shown that the proposed technology makes it possible to control the contact group (moving and fixed contacts) and elements of the moving contact control system of circuit breakers without bus bar dismantling, oil drain and disassembly of the circuit breaker poles. The paper also presents the assessment of the reliability indicators of high-voltage circuit breakers, which confirms the prospects for introducing the developed X-ray inspection technology.
