The invention discloses a voltage reactive automatic control system channel switching method. The method comprises the system normal operation stage, the scanning period running stage, the stage for judging whether a first exit condition is satisfied, the stage for judging whether a second exit condition is satisfied, the channel abnormal condition processing stage, the scanning period joint debugging recovery stage, the stage for judging whether the channels are recovered, the municipal dispatching joint debugging setting recovery stage, the stage for a substation to be input into municipal dispatching joint debugging, etc. According to the invention, automatic closed-loop control and real-time adjustment can be realized, the voltage stability and safe operation of the grid can be ensured; the misoperation caused by unreasonable manual adjustment and artificial omissions can be avoided; the gate reactive change can be adjusted on a real-time basis and tracked timely, the main grid voltage can be effectively supported, and the main grid voltage stability can be facilitated; and the control has the advantage of foreseeability, the time of unnecessary equipment actions can be reduced, and misoperation or frequent adjustment can be avoided.
