In order to avoid single-phase adaptive reclosure overlap in a permanent fault,accurate identification of the fault types on transmission line is necessary.We present a fault nature identification method for ultra-high voltage alternating current(UHVAC) transmission lines with shunt reactor.The voltage amplitude ratios of the neutral small reactance voltage to terminal voltage under transient fault and permanent fault are calculated.The significant differences of the ratio under the two faults have been analyzed.It is found that the ratio can be a criterion to distinguish the fault type,transient or permanent,accurately.Additionally,we also proposed a method that delays a beat frequency oscillation cycle to decide the fault types for the existence of beat frequency oscillation which will cause misidentification on transient faults.Abundant simulation results of ATP/EMTP show that the voltage amplitude ratio under transient fault is between 0.6 and 0.7,which is bigger than 2.5,the ratio under permanent fault.
