For the six types of SLGFs generated in the actual power grid, this paper deeply studies their fault characteristics. Firstly, the classification criterion of fault transition resistance is derived by the generation mechanism of fault zero sequence voltage (ZSV). At the same time, by comparing and analyzing the same and different characteristics between faults, three criteria for fault classification are obtained. Based on the above four criteria, a multilevel and multicriteria fault classification method is proposed to judge six types of SLGFs. Then, the proposed method is verified by various fault state simulations of the distribution network model with a balanced topology and unbalanced topology. The engineering application of the method is demonstrated by the verification of actual power grid data. Finally, noise and data loss interference test results show the robustness of the method.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s23218948","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]],"date-time":"2023-11-03T10:59:54Z","timestamp":1699009194000},"page":"8948","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Single Line-to-Ground Fault Type Multilevel Classification in Distribution Network Using Realistic Recorded Waveform"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jiajun","family":"Liu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Technology, Xi\u2019an 710048, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-0287-9886","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chenjing","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Technology, Xi\u2019an 710048, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yue","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Technology, Xi\u2019an 710048, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2074-7860","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ji","family":"Sun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Technology, Xi\u2019an 710048, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Haokun","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electrical Engineering, Xi\u2019an University of Technology, Xi\u2019an 710048, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,11,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Liu, K., Zhang, S., Li, B., Zhang, C., Liu, B., Jin, H., and Zhao, J.
