Abstract Currently, theoretical analysis of single‐phase grounding (SPG) faults in low‐current grounding systems has reached a high level of refinement, and the corresponding detection methods have matured. However, there is a significant lack of research on successive grounding (SG) faults, particularly in the area of detecting cross‐line same‐phase successive grounding (CSSG) faults in arc suppression coil grounding systems. To address these issues, a novel faulty line detection method based on transient characteristics of CSSG is proposed. Firstly, a transient equivalent circuit is established, and the characteristics of transient zero‐sequence current (ZSC) are theoretically analysed. Secondly, variational mode decomposition (VMD) is employed to extract low and high‐frequency information from intrinsic mode functions (IMFs). Subsequently, a fault initiation criterion based on kurtosis theory and the Teager‐Kaiser energy operator (TKEO) is proposed, which can accurately detect the occurrence time of secondary faults. Finally, a method for faulty line detection based on cross‐correlation distance (CCD) and transient energy (TE) is proposed. The results of PSCAD simulation under different conditions and field test affirm the accuracy of the analysis and the effectiveness of the proposed method.
