The invention provides a low-resistance grounding system ground protection method based on a zero sequence current projection coefficient and belongs to the field of power distribution network relay protection. For a low-resistance grounding mode power distribution network, projection coefficients of fault line zero sequence current and sound line zero sequence current on neutral-point zero sequence current have great difference no matter how much transition resistance is when a single-phase earth fault happens; thus, the fault characteristics can be utilized to form grounding protection. Theinvention further discloses a calculating method of the zero sequence projection coefficients and a fixed value setting principle of all parameters. The low-resistance grounding system ground protection method disclosed by the invention can ensure that low-resistance grounding and metallic grounding fault protection has good selectivity and reliability; meanwhile, the problem of high-resistance grounding fault protection reliability of a low-resistance grounding system is solved; the low-resistance grounding system ground protection method has a wide actual application prospect.
