It all depends on the make of the HT breaker and what the application is. It could be a interlocking field device not in the true state, or safety devices inhibiting the closing of the breaker. If it is a vacuum breaker loss of vacuum pressure could inhibit it also. If it is old type SF6 breakers, low gas pressure could inhibit closing of the breaker. Check for fault messages on the Human Interface Module on the breaker of trip flags if it the older type.

1. Check for the fault indication and ensure that whether the lockout relays is reset.

2. Check for the interlocking for closing command.

3. Check the incoming supply is there not, because UVT will prevent the breaker closing.

4. Check Breaker Charging mechanism is working or not.

5. Check control fuse.

6. Check closing pushbutton is healthy or not by continuity.

Following things needed to be checked:

1. Breaker operation mode local or remote?

2. Is interposing relay functioning normal?

Actually, this issue can be easily analyzed looking to the SCADA outputs and indications. SCADA system gives a topological monitoring capability to squeeze the problem. The control and monitoring systems has also historical analysis capability which helps to focus in to the right point. The simplest reasons of the unperformed action are the communication problems which can be checked with test commands. The second issue can  be physical malfunctioning of the breaker itself or relevant control interface.
