The invention provides a self-recovering method of single-phase earth faults, comprising, step 102, detecting if a single-phase earth fault occurs in a distribution system in real time; step 104, determining a circuit of the single-phase earth fault when a single-phase earth fault occurs in the distribution system; step 106, turning off a load-side interconnection switch of the circuit, then, turning on a load-side incoming line switch of the circuit, and finally turning on a main side switch of the circuit. According to the technical scheme of the invention, a single-phase earth fault of a neutral point non-effective grounding system can be automatically and rapidly isolated, and the load cannot break down during the fault isolation.
