Breaking Excitation Current of Transformer

Is there a problem breaking the excitation current of a 40-13.2kV, 833kVA, xfrm transformer with no load using 40kV disconnects or are interrupting devices necessary because of the inductive nature of the current?
 
Mark...

what has happened or makes you think will happen, to question the capability of the 40kv disconnect switch to interrupt the excitation current?
