Abstract: A three-phase trip fault in a series compensation circuit of 500 kV caused by the selected-area deflection was analyzed, which took into account of the behaviors of the series compensation relay and line relay. Based on the real circuit, a simulation model was established and the simulation with the parameters corresponding to the operation condition was conducted by using RTDS. It was found that the behaviors of relays were in accordance with the principles of design and recorded data. When a single phase fault through the transition resistance and transient conduction in phase B of series compensation’s MOV occur, the selected-area deflection will take place and the two-line relays will select different phases, which will amplify the fault area. Based on case analyses, the phase-to-ground faults at single or double circuits, when the series compensation works or not, were researched, respectively. The error conditions of zero and negative current areas were obtained. Moreover, some feasible solutions in the actual situation were proposed as well.

Key words: series compensation, selected-area deflection, transition resistance, current reverse
