The invention discloses a method for achieving an 
arc suppression coil function by using a high-
voltage cascading type SVG. The method includes the steps of 1) monitoring whether a 
system runs normally or not, 2) when the 
system runs normally, starting a reactive compensation mode and a 
harmonic suppression function mode, controlling a cascading type SVG converter to perform 
system reactive compensation and 
harmonic cancellation, meanwhile, monitoring 
bus voltage, judging whether a neutral point of the 
bus voltage deviates and generates zero-sequence voltage or not, if the neutral point of the 
bus voltage deviates and generates the zero-sequence voltage, executing the step 3), and otherwise, keeping the current operation state, 3) starting an 
arc suppression coil function mode, controlling the cascading type SVG converter to compensate ungrounded phase grounding 
capacitive current, and meanwhile monitoring the 
bus voltage, judging whether deviation and the zero-sequence voltage of the neutral point of the 
bus voltage disappear or not, if deviation and the zero-sequence voltage of the neutral point of the 
bus voltage disappear, executing the step 2), and otherwise keeping the current operation state. The method has the advantages of being simple to achieve and capable of adjusting automatically, having the 
dual function modes, and being flexible in mode conversion.
