Abstract
A method for preventing the unwanted maloperation of a protective relay system that is caused by the imprecise detection of an actual secondary current value resulting from a measured secondary current being distorted comprises the steps of calculating difference values for sampled secondary currents; comparing absolute values of the difference values with a predetermined critical value, and determining a saturation starting moment of a current transformer when one of the absolute values exceeds the predetermined critical value; obtaining a magnetizing current at the saturation starting moment using the difference values if the saturation starting moment is determined, and obtaining a magnetic flux value in a steel core of the current transformer from a magnetization curve using the magnetizing current; calculating a magnetic flux value at a time after the saturation starting moment using a secondary current value measured at that time and the magnetic flux value obtained at the saturation starting moment so as to obtain a secondary current value consistent with a current transformation ratio at that time; obtaining a magnetizing current at that time from the magnetization curve using the magnetic flux value calculated at that time; and obtaining the secondary current value consistent with the current transformation ratio by adding the obtained magnetizing current and the measured secondary current value.
