Abstract: A high frequency zero-sequence directional protection of a 220 kV line took false action with obvious distortion on voltage waveform. Through harmonic analysis of voltage waveform, it is found that CVT transient characteristics lasted shortly around 5~10 ms, while zero-sequence directional protection acted 20 ms later. The possibility of malfunction caused by transient characteristics of CVT is excluded. Based on zero-sequence voltage, current and sequence on both sides of protection, the induced voltage is calculated. It is inferred that mutual inductance is the cause of malfunction of zero-sequence directional protection. A new zero-sequence directional protection scheme with negative sequence current opening identification is proposed.
