Aiming at the fast and accurate location of a single-phase ground fault in the distribution network, a single terminal injection signal location method, based on the standing wave principle, is proposed. Firstly, the double conductor standing wave principle formation, based on uniform transmission line theory, is analyzed, and the mathematical model of the fault distance algorithm is established. Secondly, a fault detection circuit is built by simulation, and the distribution trend of the standing wave and its relationship with unit capacitance and unit inductance are studied. By setting the source signal frequency and detection point interval and other parameters, the fault location of this method under direct grounding fault and through grounding resistance fault is simulated and studied. Finally, the fault distance is calculated and located by an experiment. The results show that the positioning accuracy is high, which verifies the effectiveness of the standing wave positioning 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.

The paper analyzes the utilization of cable screen currents for earth fault identification and location. Attention is paid on cable and mixed feeders—cable and overhead lines. The principle of operation is based on utilization of 3 criterion values: Ratio of cable screen earthing current and zero sequence cable core current—RF110/15, phase shift between cable screen earthing current and zero sequence cable core current—α and cable screen admittance defined as a ratio of cable screen earthing current and zero sequence voltage—Y0cs. Earth fault location is possible thanks to discovered relation between RF110/15 and α, whereas Y0cs allows for reliable detection of earth faults. Detection and identification are very important because it allows to increase the reliability of supply—reduce downtime and number of consumers affected by the fault. The article presents a phase to ground fault current flow for different power system configurations. At the end solution, which improves location capabilities is proposed. The solution is analyzed in PSCAD software and verified by network experiment.
