The invention relates to a single-phase fault judging method for a small-current grounding
system of an
overhead line. The single-phase fault judging method comprises the following steps of: respectively installing a
fault indicator on a phase A, a phase B and a phase C of the same site of the
overhead line, wherein each
fault indicator is in
wireless communication with the other two fault indicators by virtue of a
wireless communication module; detecting the
voltage and current information of the phase, and judging whether the phase has small-current grounding faults or not by virtue of each
fault indicator; if the phase is judged to have small-current grounding faults, acquiring
voltage information of the phase of the other two fault indicators by virtue of the
wireless communication module; judging whether the
voltage of other two phases is higher than the normal value or not, if higher, judging that the phase has true small-current grounding faults and sending the small-current grounding fault information of the phase to a communication terminal by virtue of the communication module, otherwise, not sending the small-current grounding fault information.
