The invention discloses a method for judging the breakage of a voltage transformer circuit; the secondary side three-phase voltage and the open triangular zero sequence voltage of a generator terminal voltage transformer TV are measured, and the tertiary harmonic voltage UA3, UB3 and UC3, and the tertiary harmonic component 3U03 of the open triangular zero sequence voltage are calculated; the value of the secondary phase voltage side is return counted to be U'03 according to the voltage transformation ratio of the voltage transformer TV on the 3U03: Umax=max{UA3, UB3, UC3, U'03}, Umin=min{UA3, UB3, UC3, U'03}; and when the Umax >=K.Uset0 and Umax>=K.Umin are met simultaneously, the breakage of the TV circuit is judged, wherein K is the fixed slope value, Uset0 is the inflection point fixed voltage value, and the two are constants. The method can accurately judge if the TV circuit is broken, and because the voltage measured of the TV is only used, the voltage of other TVs or the current of a TA do not need to be measured, and the criterion is simple and is easy to realize.
