In order to meet the increasing passenger transport demand, the train passenger capacity and train dispatching density are also increasing. At the same time, the load current of the DC power supply line is also greatly increased. When at the end of the long and large DC single-sided power supply line, due to the large line impedance, the overcurrent protection of the traditional DC system is difficult to distinguish the train running load current and the short-circuit fault current, even if the long delay is adjusted to achieve it, but the speed of protection is lost, so the sensitivity and speed of overcurrent protection will be greatly reduced.
