The present invention relates to a method for locating single-phase ground fault of a low current grounding system power distribution network, including determining a total length L[total] and a total impedance Z[total] between two lines of M and N, and injecting signals when occurring a fault, when a P point between the M and N positions occurring a single-phase ground fault, systems of the two positions inject signals at the M and N position, and measures the amplitude of a return current signal as well as a phase difference between the return current signal and the injection voltage signal, after a line selection device has selected the fault phase; calculating a loop total impedance Z[M] grounded through the P point from the M and N ends, the modulo of the Z[N], and a phase angle Phi[M] of the Z[M] and the Z[N], according to |Z| = |U| / |I|, the measured injection voltage, the amplitude of the return current signal and the phase difference, a distance from the fault point P to the M position is further calculated through the following formula. By the method of the invention, it is easy to detect when the signal amplitude is strong, the attrition in the power distribution network is low, the algorithm is high, and the accuracy is high.
