A pixel circuit, a driving method thereof and a display apparatus are provided. The pixel circuit comprises a control module, a short-circuit protection module, a drive transistor and a light-emitting device, wherein the short-circuit protection module is used for providing a data voltage to a gate of the drive transistor in response to a gate signal; a second pole of the drive transistor is connected to a positive pole of the light-emitting device, and a negative pole of the light-emitting device receives a second power supply voltage; the short-circuit protection module is used for providing a third power supply voltage to the gate of the drive transistor to turn off the drive transistor in response to the data voltage provided to the gate of the drive transistor and the second power supply voltage provided to the positive pole of the light-emitting device.
