In order to improve the success rate of the High-Impedance Grounding Fault (HIGF) selection, a new algorithm is proposed to work in HIGF Selection. By using Synchrosqueezed Wavelet Transforms (SWT), the maximum time-frequency ridge of each feeders was analyzed first. Then the synchrosqueezed energy and the synchrosqueezed angle of each feeders are calculated to characterize the feature of each feeder by utilizing Minkowski distance. The fault and non fault line can be distinguished based on the feature. According to the simulation result, this algorithm is little influenced by the fault location, ground resistance, initial phase angle, feeder structure, etc. The fault line can be selected accurately. Comparing with other available algorithms,this new algorithm has higher accuracy and better adaptation in complex distribution network.
