The invention relates to a method for locating a single-phase grounding fault by adopting a 
transient state travelling wave and an injection method, which is suitable for locating a single-phase grounding fault of a low-current grounding 
system. The method solves the defects of a 
single fault locating method, thereby improving the fault locating accuracy. The method comprises the following steps of: (1) sampling a zero sequence 
voltage, and calculating and judging whether the zero sequence 
voltage exceeds a setting threshold value or not; if the zero sequence 
voltage exceeds the setting threshold value, showing that an 
electricity grid has a single-phase grounding fault, and then executing the following steps; (2) judging a fault phase according to the voltage change law in a 
system single-phase fault, then obtaining a phase voltage at the fault moment, and comparing the obtained phase voltage with 0.8up, wherein up is a 
system phase voltage 
peak value; (3) if the 
wavelet analysis is carried out on a 
transient state travelling wave 
signal, determining the time 
delta t for the travelling wave to go to and fro between a fault point and a 
generatrix once, thereby calculating the distance from the fault point to the 
generatrix; (4) and if a fault circuit is selected, 
cutting the power of the fault circuit, injecting a pulse 
signal to the fault 
signal, carrying out 
wavelet transform, detecting the reflected wave of the fault point, thereby obtaining 
delta t, and then calculating the distance from the fault point to the 
generatrix.
