Abstract:

It analyzes an accident due to the disconnected point of zerosequence CT circuit of a main transformer on the power plant side. When a singlephase ground fault occurs outside the grid side zone, it leads to a utility variable ratio differential protection. It reveals that if there is disconnected point in a zerosequence CT secondary side, the induced secondary high voltage may affect the adjacent AC sampling loop. Analyzing the typical wave characters of this accident, specific preventive measures are put forward as references for the unknown accident.
