Accurate faulty phase detection under single-line-toground (SLG) fault is the basis of the emerging voltage-based fault arc suppression technology. Most conventional faulty phase recognition criteria assume the distributed line-to-ground parameters are symmetrical, therefore suffering invalidity in actual distribution networks especially under high-resistance ground-fault conditions. This paper firstly analyzes the magnitude and phase angle variation models of the phase-to-ground voltages before and after the SLG fault. Considering the asymmetrical distributed parameters and the line impedance, the specific phaseto-ground voltage variation rules corresponding to SLG fault on each phase are then discussed. Based on the voltage variation rules, a robust and practical method for faulty phase identification is proposed ， which does not need the distributed parameters. Finally, the correctness of the variation rules and the availability of the proposed method is verified by simulation. Comparative study shows the proposed method has better accuracy and applicability with the conventional methods when the asymmetry and ground-fault resistance are high.
