DC current interruption utilizing vacuum switch based on artificial current zero is investigated. A period of vacuum dielectric recovery with zero voltage is achieved by using a freewheel diode paralleled with the vacuum switch. The vacuum switch is driven by a electromagnetic repulsion mechanism and the reverse current is supplied by a pre-charged LC circuit. The overvoltage generated during interruption is suppressed by metal oxide varister. Simulation model of the switch is set up by EMTP software and the interruption processes of both short circuit current and rated are analyzed. Simulation results are compared with the measured waveforms of current and voltage of experiments, which are in good agreement.
