The invention discloses a single-phase 
grounding line selection method for a small-current grounding 
system, and the method comprises the following steps: 1, collecting the zero sequence 
voltage of a 
bus or an outgoing line and the zero sequence current of the outgoing line, and calculating the amplitude of the zero sequence 
voltage in real time; 2, determining that the 
bus or the outgoing line has a single-phase grounding fault when the amplitude of the zero sequence 
voltage is greater than the amplitude of a line selection start voltage, and switching to step 3; 3, extracting the data of zero sequence current and voltage of a cycle before a moment when a fault happens and a cycle after the moment of the fault happens, and carrying out the 
wavelet packet transformation of the data of transient zero sequence voltage and current; 4, comparing the phases of the transient zero sequence current and voltage after the 
wavelet packet transformation: determining that a line is not a fault line if the phases are the same, and determining that the line is a fault line if the phases are opposite, thereby completing the 
grounding line section. The method solves a problem of a higher line selection misjudgment rate caused by that the phases and amplitudes of the zero sequence currents of the fault line and the non-fault line when a conventional 
arc suppression coil grounding 
system has a single-phase grounding fault.
