The invention discloses a phase-splitting difference stream method for preventing voltage transformer differential protection unwanted operation by utilizing fault components, wherein the three-phase difference current variation in the transformer differential protection constitute ratio braking element with the zero-sequence current variation, when the ratio of the differential current variation and the zero-sequence current variation is smaller than a setting value K, the corresponding differential current is judged to be the error current caused by the faults outside the area, and outputs corresponding brake signal, brake the corresponding phase ratio differential protection, thus preventing the differential protection accidental operation of the transformer, The advantage of the invention is, the transformer differential protection false operation resulted from neutral ground lateral area outer earth fault can be fully prevented, without influencing the correct actuation of the differential protection under the circumstance of in-area faults.
