Abstract: Abstract:An 110kV line is one of output lines of the 330kV main transformer. When a ground fault of the 110kV line occurred, the differential protection of the main transformer tripped incorrectly. The fault record figure was investigated, and it was found that when the differential protection device tripped due to the outside area fault, the phase B current increased abnormally. The CT secondary circuit site was inspected, and it was found that there was two points ground phenomenon in the secondary circuit phase B. It was analyzed that when the CT secondary circuit phase B grounded through two points, why the outside area fault can cause the differential protection of the main transformer to trip incorrectly. The preventive measures were proposed.
