The HVDC circuit breaker with a rapid repulsion actuator has a series of advantages, such as simplicity of the operator and high speed opening. It plays a key role in the process of HVDC short- circuit breaking. This paper analyses the mechanical linkage dynamic characteristics of this DC vacuum circuit breaker module by using Finite Element Analysis software. According to the simulation results, a rapid repulsion actuator prototype has been realized, the mechanical coordination characteristics of DC vacuum circuit breaker modules are measured. Short-circuit breaking experiments are conducted and the results show the fault current of 8.5kA is successfully interrupted. The range of the current falling rate is 50~240A/μs and the mechanical linkage feasibility of the DC vacuum circuit breaker module is confirmed by the experiments.
