The invention relates to a snowflake grid type grid construction method suitable for urban medium voltage distribution networks. The method comprises the following steps: selecting equipment of a snowflake grid type grid for constructing the 10kV medium voltage distribution networks; constructing a main gird of the snowflake grid type grid consisting of a feeder line cluster; connecting the equipment on the main grid; and constructing a load transfer passage to form the snowflake grid type grid. The method has the effects that each feeder line in the target grid structure formed by adopting the method is reasonably segmented and contacted, has automatic detection, isolation and network reconstruction for failures and self-healing capacity of power restoration, and can meet the power supply requirement of various types of users, so that the utilization efficiency of power distribution equipment is improved, optimal allocation of resources and optimal capital efficiency are realized, the benefit efficiency of the grid is fully developed, and thus the target grid structure is more scientific and complete. The method is easy to master and operate, simple and clear, and is convenient for actual operators to master skillfully.
