To solve the problem that traditional vacuum breaker met in breaking high di/(dt) short circuit current, a zero recovery period is obtained which can greatly improves the dielectric recovery of the vacuum interrupter. Thus, high di/(dt) short circuit current can be shut down immediately after the vacuum interrupter opens. The working principle of the new topology is analyzed and a high speed diving mechanism along with a reverse circuit are designed. Vacuum dielectric recovery test is conducted to proved the feasibility of the scheme. Finally, a 1kV/400A prototype is developed and breaking test with di/(dt) of 5A/µs
