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.

Based on the analysis of the transient process of the electric line’s developing ground fault, this paper applies the oppositely-directed travelling wave fault location method to fault location in distribution network. Simultaneously, this paper chooses proper wavelet generating functions to find the modulus maximum of oppositely-directed travelling waves and summarizes the methods and steps of this oppositely-directed travelling wave fault location. Finally, PSCAD/EMTDC is used to simulate the single-phase ground fault to verify the oppositely-directed travelling wave fault location method.

Due to the high ground fault resistance and the complexity of power distribution network structure (such as too many nodes, branches and too long lines), adopting common traveling wave method and ac injection method can not effectively locate the single-phase grounding fault in the distribution network system.To solve above problems and determine the position of the point of failure prisely, this paper adopted the dc location method of injecting the dc signal from the point of failure under the power outage offline. This paper introduces the single phase dc method and the method of three phase dc, and the simulation shows that the dc location method is effective and feasible.

Traveling wave (TW)-based fault-location methods have been used to determine single-phase-to-ground fault distance in power-distribution networks. The previous approaches detected the arrival time of the initial traveling wave via single ended or multi-terminal measurements. Regarding the multi-branch effect, this paper utilized the reflected waves to obtain multiple arriving times through single ended measurement. Potential fault sections were estimated by searching for the possible traveling wave propagation paths in accordance with the structure of the distribution network. This approach used the entire propagation of a traveling wave measured at a single end without any prerequisite of synchronization, which is a must in multi-terminal measurements. The uniqueness of the fault section was guaranteed by several independent single-ended measurements. Traveling waves obtained in a real 10 kV distribution network were used to determine the fault section, and the results demonstrate the significant effectiveness of the proposed method.

For power distribution systems, recognizing the single-phase ground fault is very difficult because there are several faults with similar features. This paper presents a novel method that can help to overcome this difficulty. The idea is to turns the original fault info into a whole system with transient state, steady state and transition state. Theoretical analysis, computer simulation and lab experiments verified the effectiveness of the proposed method.
