The present disclosure provides a composite start-stop device and a control method for a critical DC lubricating oil pump of a steam turbine, comprising a main contact module, a buck circuit and a current limiting module connected in sequence, and the main contact module is configured to cut off or connect two DC The buck circuit includes three parts, the first part is the parallel structure of the DC contactor and the power electronic switch, and the parallel structure is connected to a certain DC bus, and the second part is the fuse and the power electronic switch. Freewheeling diode series structure, the series structure is located on one side of the parallel structure, and is connected between two DC bus bars; the third part is the bus capacitor, which is arranged on the other side of the parallel structure and connected to the Between two DC buses; the current limiting module is set on one of the DC buses to limit the current for the load to be connected. The present disclosure not only has the advantages of smooth start-stop of the buck conversion DC motor start-stop device, but also greatly improves the anti-overload capability of the IGBT and the freewheeling diode.
