Abstract

The invention relates to a system and a method for the non-destructive electrical testing of an electropyrotechnic initiator by a device, comprising an electrothermal bridge in parallel with a varistor, the system allowing, on the one hand, the charging, via a power supply of a capacitor for storing predetermined electrical energy below the energy needed to trigger the initiator and, on the other hand, the discharge of said capacitor into said initiator, the system comprising computer equipment for the acquisition and recording of the voltage across the terminals of the discharge circuit of the capacitor in the initiator. According to the invention, the charging and discharging of the capacitor are under dependence of the states, whether switched or not, of two relays, a first relay having a first switched circuit, which switches the power supply, and a second relay having a switched circuit, which switches the capacitor with the initiator, the second relay being controlled by the first relay, and a second switched circuit of the first relay allowing the state of the second relay to be controlled so that the switching of the first relay causes the second relay to switch.
