The Research Method of Prevention Transformer Differential Protection Misoperation Caused by the Sympathetic Inrush Jingbin Yang1, Dalong Fu2, Youwen Tian*3, Yuwei Li4. Shenyang Agricultural University, Shenyang City, Liaoning Province, 120 Dongling Road, China *youwen_tian10@163.com Abstract Differential protection has been the main protection of transformer for a long time. The key and difficult problem is how to prevent the differential protection misoperation caused by inrush current. In recent years, there has been a lot of sympathetic inrush accidents caused by misoperation of transformer differential protection, affecting the safe and stable operation of power system. This paper established the simulation model of inrush current and, analysis of sympathetic inrush mechanism. At the same time, the fundamental reasons of differential protection misoperation caused by the sympathetic inrush were found out. And relevant methods and measures of preventing the sympathetic inrush misoperation in the transformer differential protection are put forward.

Introduction Power transformer is the most important equipment in power system, which has extremely important significance for reliable transportation, flexible distribution and safe use of electricity. Its running safety is directly related to the ability of the power system’s continuous, reliable and stable working. If power transformer happens fault, it will not only make the system power supply interruption, but also influence the industrial and agricultural production and peopleʹs normal life (HAYWARD. 1941). Even it can endanger the personal safety and equipment.(SUN Hu et al. 2003) Especially because the transformer is expensive and complex structure, once it is damaged due to fault, the maintenance difficulty is more serious and the maintenance time is longer, which will bring enormous loss to national economy.

For a long time, differential protection has always been one of the main protection schemes of the internal fault of transformer. The reasons of longitudinal differential protection misoperation are in many aspects. When transformer closes in the removal of no‐load or voltage recovers after external fault, the inrush current of transformer core saturation and produce is the most serious problem faced by the transformer differential protection. (Xuesong Zhang 2006 , Daqiang Bi , 2007) In recent years, there are many maloperation of adjacent parallel transformer differential protection when a no‐load transformer is closed. This brings a lot of harm to the normal operation of the main equipment. This kind of phenomenon has something with sympathetic inrush current (Hongchun Shu et al. 2006). Theoretical Analysis and Simulation Verification of Produce Mechanism of Transformer and Sympathetic Inrush Current To research produce mechanism of sympathetic inrush current, we use parallel two transformers operation as an example. The equivalent circuit model is shown in Figure 1. The parallel operation of transformers can produces sympathetic inrush current. When the T1 is in normal operation, T2 is no‐load. If the inrush current in T2 is large, T1 will appear sympathetic inrush current corresponding to inrush current. And great changes will take place in the line current waveforms. In Figure 1, the system voltage is indicated by US. A resistance is RS. A inductance is LS. Equivalent
