When the T-connected transmission line fails, there is a certain relationship between the phases of the three-terminal power frequency fault current, which can be applied to protect the current differential of the T-connected line. In this paper, using the MATLAB/Simulink electric power system simulation software, when the T-connected transmission line is faulty, the power frequency fault current variation law monitored at the installation point is deeply studied, and the judgment method of the T-connected transmission line fault branch based on the power frequency current is proposed.
