The key takeaways from the document are that symmetrical components are used to analyze faults in three-phase electrical systems by decomposing phase currents and voltages into three sets known as positive, negative and zero sequences that have distinct properties and can be treated independently.

Symmetrical components are a technique used to analyze unbalanced three-phase power systems by decomposing the phase currents and voltages into three components known as positive, negative and zero sequences. They allow the analysis of faults which cause voltage and current unbalances by decomposing the system into balanced components that can be analyzed independently.

The three types of symmetrical components are positive, negative and zero sequences. Positive sequence components have equal magnitudes 120 degrees out of phase, negative sequence are similar but phase reversed, and zero sequence have equal magnitudes and phase angles. They represent different characteristics in how they circulate in circuits.

Order of severity and occurrence of different types of fault

Here the most severe fault in the power system is balanced/


three phase fault and the most frequent is LG fault

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

Negative sequence sets


have zero neutral
current

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:

= 1120 + 2+ 3= 0  3 =1


I0a = Ib0 = I0c (since by definition they are all equal)
I b+ =  2 I a+ I c+ =  I a+ I b− =  I a− I c+ =  2 I a−

Sequence sets can be used with voltages as well


as with currents
10
❑Vp is the phase voltage and Vs is the sequence voltage
❑So we can determine the phase and sequence voltages
using A and 𝐴−1 matrices

Vs=𝐴−1 Vp

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
