The topology conserving gauge action proposed by Lüscher is expected to reduce the number of non-smooth gauge configurations as well as the topology change compared to the conventional actions for the same lattice spacings. We report our quenched QCD study of the topological stability and the scaling violation of the static quark potential. We find that the the topology change is indeed suppressed when the parameter ε is of order one. We also find that the scaling violation in the static quark
