The invention provides a high voltage circuit breaker test system calibration time reference device and a calibration system. The device provided by the invention comprises a microprocessor, a programmable logic device, a random access memory, a trigger circuit and a break opening and closing analog circuit. The microprocessor is connected with the programmable logic device. The programmable logic device is connected with the random access memory. The programmable logic device is connected with the input interface of the break opening and closing analog circuit and the output interface of the trigger circuit through an IO port. According to the invention, the programmable logic device is used as the core control device of time generation; according to set parameters, the output signal of the IO port of the programmable logic device controls the on and off of the analog circuit; opening and closing of a circuit breaker are simulated; standard closing time, opening time, bouncing time, bouncing times and other parameters can be precisely generated; software delay is avoided; and precision and accuracy requirements of performance index calibration of a high voltage circuit breaker mechanical property monitoring system are met.
