Abstract
The longitudinal current differential protection of low resistance grounding distribution network exists the problem of setting the protection threshold too high, which may refuse to operate in the event of high resistance fault. This paper analyzes the characteristics of single phase grounding fault in low resistance grounding distribution network and finds that the zero sequence differential current in the fault section is much greater than that in the sound section, and is independent of the fault resistance. Therefore, this paper proposes a highly sensitive longitudinal current differential protection method, which reduces the threshold of existing differential protection and enables differential protection to still operate in the event of high resistance grounding fault. At the same time, through the coordination of time limits, it ensures that the differential current of the sound section will not malfunction when it exceeds the low threshold. This method combines the sensitivity of protection during high resistance grounding fault and the selectivity of protection during low resistance grounding fault, with a resistance to fault resistance of up to 2000 Ω. Through model simulation, this method is practical and feasible
