Abstract: In order to improve the performance of an arc suppression coil grounding system in handling cross-line two-point successive grounding faults (CTSGs), the applicability of the transient quantity method and the steady-state quantity method for assessing CTSGs is analyzed. Then, a novel method for line selection for CTSGs was proposed, which comprehensively utilizes transient and steady-state information. Specifically, this method adopts a continuous line selection process, with priority given to the transient quantity method, and a supplementary line selection process, with priority given to the steady-state quantity method. After accurately selecting some faulty lines, such lines are tripped, and then, the process proceeds with continuous line selection again. When the number of cycles exceeds the set value, and the fault line cannot be completely cut off, they are tripped one by one according to the degree to which they are approaching the steady-state method criterion, from large to small. Furthermore, in response to the dramatic increase in computing volume that is caused by the continuous application of the transient method in on-site applications and the impact of current transformer accuracy on the steady-state method, this paper proposes corresponding solutions. PSCAD simulation, full-scale tests, and field recording data tests verify that this paper’s method can accurately detect a CTSG.
