This invention relates to a method for identifying traveling waves of super-high voltage DC circuit faults, which applies a reverse identification method: A, judgment of fault pole: Wcx=Diff_bx(t)*Com_bx(t), in which, x=1,2, if the short time integral value of Wcx is greater than a constant value, then it is decided that the local pole is fault, otherwise, it is not, B, abrupt volume of traveling waves, C, integral volume of the traveling waves, D, testing if the DC current is over the constant value or the DC voltage meets the criterion of the low constant value, A to C or D make up of the action conditions of the circuit traveling wave protection.
