The invention provides a large-scale generator outlet side PT primary winding turn-to-turn
short circuit on-line monitoring method, which comprises the following steps: measuring a primary winding current through a primary current measuring device additionally arranged at a generator
terminal voltage transformer PT, and inputting the primary winding current into a protection device; measuring the current of the secondary winding, the current of the open
delta winding and the secondary
voltage by using a protection device; virtual
excitation current and virtual excitation
voltage are calculated through a protection device according to measured data, secondary winding resistance detected in an offline mode and the known number of turns of a PT winding, virtual excitation impedance is further calculated, the module value of the virtual excitation impedance is taken, and the module value of the
machine end PT virtual excitation impedance is obtained; the impedance module value is used as a monitoring index through the protection device, when the impedance module value is between the low-section fixed value and the high-section fixed value, an alarm is given,
stator grounding protection is closed, and when the impedance module value is lower than the low-section fixed value, the
stator grounding protection action is allowed. The method effectively improves the sensitivity of PT on-line monitoring, is easy to implement, and can find an insulation fault at the early stage of the fault.
