A single-phase-to-ground fault line
selection method for small current comprises the following steps of first determining a
signal sampling period, using an A / D converter to collect the zero-sequencevoltage of a
bus and the zero-sequence current of feeders of the
system, monitoring the zero-sequence
voltage of the
bus in real time, and starting a line
selection algorithm when the zero-sequence
voltage is greater than a set
voltage; performing
smoothing pre-treatment on the transient zero-sequence
current spectrum of each of the extracted feeders, carrying out empirical
wavelet transform
decomposition to extract an intrinsic mode function that best characterizes the original
signal, calculating energy relative entropies by using the amplitude of the
signal obtained after Hilbert transform,selecting the line with the largest relative entropy as the fault candidate line, determining that the line with the largest relative entropy is faulty if the line with the largest relative entropy is larger than the sum of the relative entropies of the line with the second largest relative entropy and the line with the third largest relative entropy, and otherwise determining that the
bus is faulty. The single-phase-to-ground fault line
selection method is accurate in line selection and good in real-time performance without being affected by the neutral point grounding mode, the fault distance, the initial fault angle or the transition resistance fault condition.
