In China,most of distribution system is neutral noneffectively grounded. And the single-phase fault often happens through cement pole. In this paper,firstly,the voltage of the fault phase and the current of cement pole are derived in 10kV neutral noneffectively grounded distribution systems when cement pole has single-phase ground fault.Secondly,the online fault location method is proposed based on voltage gradient of cement pole.Thirdly,the resistence characristic of cement pole is analyzed and the distance obtained from the gradient voltage of cement pole is given.Finally, the theoretical analysis and simulation experiments show that the method is feasible.

Among the available fault location methods based on traveling waves, calibrations of wave velocity and wave arrival time are the two main problems. This paper proposes a new fault location method which combines the two problems mentioned above. In this method, the first wave and second wave obtained at one side and the first wave obtained at the other side is used to locate the fault point. And the Hilbert-Huang transform is used in the calibration of wave arrival time, making the method more accurate than using wavelet transform. This method has the following two advantages: At first, it dismisses the influence of wave velocity. In the second, it doesn’t need to distinguish the sources of the received waves. ATP-EMTP’s simulation results show that this method is available and the location precision is higher than traditional fault location methods.
