The invention discloses a protection method for a turn-to-turn short-circuit fault of a controllable reactor. The protection method comprises the following steps of 1, acquiring the electrical quantity of the controllable reactor, namely the grid-side three-phase
voltage, three-phase current and the control-side three-phase current; 2, calculating the control side zero-sequence current, the network side negative-sequence
voltage and the negative-sequence current according to the electrical quantity; 3, taking the control side zero-sequence current as a protection starting threshold to carry out protection starting judgment; 4, calculating a negative sequence power
direction angle by using the grid-side negative sequence
voltage and the
negative sequence current, and taking the negative sequence power
direction angle as a judgment basis of a fault position; and 5, when a small turn-to-turn fault occurs,
processing the negative sequence power
direction angle by using a dynamic mean value method, and then judging the
fault occurrence position in the
system. According to the protection method, the control side zero sequence current and the grid side negative sequence power direction principle are combined, so that the sensitivity of the control side turn-to-turn
short circuit protection of the controllable reactor can be improved; the problem of negative sequence power direction angle fluctuation during small turn-to-turn
short circuit is solved by adopting a dynamic mean value method, and the protection reliability is improved.
