Symmetrical Components
❑In three phase system we have three sets of sequences
⚫ The three sequence networks are known as the
– positive sequence (this is the one we’ve been using)
– negative sequence
– zero sequence
2
Positive SequenceSets
⚫The positive sequence sets have three phase
currents/voltages with equal magnitude, with
phase b lagging phase a by 120°, and phase c
lagging phase b by120°.
⚫We’ve been studying positive sequencesets
Positive sequence sets
have zero neutral
current
4
Negative SequenceSets
⚫ The negative sequence sets have three phase
currents/voltages with equal magnitude, with
phase b leading phase a by 120°, and phase c
leading phase b by120°.
⚫ Negative sequence sets are similar to positive
sequence, except the phaseorder is reversed
5
Zero SequenceSets
⚫Zero sequence sets have three values with
equal magnitude and angle.
⚫Zero sequence sets have neutralcurrent
6
Sequence Representation
⚫ Any arbitrary set of three phasors, say Ia, Ib, Ic can be
represented as a sum of the three sequence sets
Ia = I 0 + I + + I −
a. a a
Ib = I 0+ I ++ I−
b. b b
Ic = I 0+ I ++ I−
c. c c
where
I 0 , I 0 , I 0 is the zero sequence set
a b c
I +,I +,I + is the positive sequence set
a b c
I −, I −, I − is the negative sequence set
a b c

Conversion from Sequence to Phase
Only three of the sequence values are unique,
I0a , I a+ , I a− ; the others are determined as follows:
Ia 1
1 1 1 1 1
a I 0
I = I 0 1 + I + 2 + I − = 1 2 I +
b a a a a
Ic 1 2 1 2 I −

Then I = I b = A I a = A I = A I s

Conversion Phase toSequence
By taking the inverse we can convert from the
phase values to the sequence values
I s = A −1I

Use of Symmetrical Components
Consider the following wye-connectedload:
I n = I a + Ib + Ic
Vag = Ia Z y +I n Z n
Vag = (ZY + Zn )I a + Zn Ib + Zn Ic
Vbg = Zn Ia + (ZY + Zn )I b + Zn Ic
Vcg = Zn Ia + Zn Ib + (ZY + Zn )I c
