Introduction to symmetrical components
Objectives
Following this section, you should be able to :
a. Define the terms positive, negative, and zero sequenceand draw phasor diagrams for each sequence
b. Define the operator "a"
c. Convert an unbalanced set of phase quantities intosequence components or vice-versa
d. Calculate the power in an unbalanced three phase circuitusing sequence voltages and currents
Figure 1 shows three sets of rotating phasors. These could represent voltagesor currents.
The set on the left consists of a balanced set (same magnitude and 120o apart). Since phasors rotate in the CCW direction, this set of phasors has an A-B-Crotation sequence, called the positive sequence.
The set in the middle is also a balanced set. Its phase rotation is A-C-B ornegative sequence.
The set of phasors to the right all have the same magnitude, but they are inphase with each other. This set of phasors is called the zero sequence.
An example of zero sequence would be third harmonics.
These three sets of phasors are given the name symmetrical components. They are useful because any unbalanced set of voltages or currents can bebroken down into symmetrical components. The theory of symmetricalcomponents was developed by Charles Fortesque who presented it at ameeting of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (a predecessor of theIEEE) in 1918. Fortesque's paper was over 110 pages long. Symmetricalcomponents allow us to break down the problem of solving unbalanced faultconditions in the power system.

Figure 1
As an example of the process consider figure 2.
In figure 2, the like phases from each of the three sequences havebeen added together.
That is the "a" phasors from the positive, negative, and zerosequences have been added. The same has been done for "b"and "c".
The resultant set of phasors is clearly very unbalanced. The threephases all have different magnitudes and they are not 120o apart.
Obviously, by changing the relative magnitudes of the sequencesand the phase angles between them, we could create an infinitenumber of unbalanced sets. The question is how can we find thesequences if we have a set of unbalanced voltages or currents. To do that we must first look at some mathematical principles anddefinitions.

Mathematical Operators
Given an equation:
we know the equation must have "n" roots, or solutions
Thus for
there are two solutions, namely:
and for
we could rewrite it as
so
xn = k
x2 = 1
x = ± 1
x2 = -1
x2 = 1p180o
x = ± 1p90o = 1p90o and 1p-90o
Mathematical Operators
Since we use the roots of -1 a lot we assign them a specialsymbol:
x = ± j
"j" is a mathematical operator
Multiplying a phasor by "j"doesn't change its magnitude,but shifts its phase angleforward by 90o I
j I
Multiplying by "-j" shifts thephase angle backward by 90o.
-j I
I
Mathematical Operators
Now consider the equation:
There should be three solutions.
The other two are in the complex plane
Rewrite the equation as
we can see the other solutions are:
x3 = 1
x = 1 is a solution
x3 = 1p360o or x3 = 1p720o
x = 1p120o and x = 1p240o
Mathematical Operators
W e can define another mathematical operator:
Squaring "a":
a = 1p120o
a2 = 1p240o
"a" rotates phasors by 120oV
aV
"a2 " rotates phasors by 240o VaV
Sequences
Using V to represent our phasors and subscripts 0, 1, 2 for the 0, +, and - sequences, respectively we can write for the positivesequence:
Va1
Vc1 = aVa1
Vb1 = a2Va1
Sequences
For the negative sequence:
Va2
Vc2 = aVa2
Vb2 = a2Va2
For the zero sequence: Vao = Vbo = Vco

Expressing Unbalanced Sets in Terms of Sequences
Va = Va0 + Va1 + Va2 = V0 + V1 + V2
In Matrix Form
These are called the synthesis equations
Vb = Vb0 + Vb1 + Vb2 = V0 + aV1 + a2V2
Vc = Vc0 + Vc1 + Vc2 = V0 + a2V1 + aV2
by inverting the A Matrix we can solve for the sequence quantitiesin terms of a set of known unbalanced phase quantities
which can be found to be:
In shorthand notation:
[Vabc] = [A] [V012]
[V012] = [A]-1 [Vabc]
Solving for Sequences in Terms of Phase Quantities
These are called the analysis equations
Consider the unbalanced Ysystem shown in figure 3. The+ and -sequence componentsadd to zero at the center of theY. The sum of the abc currentsflows on the neutral.
In = Ia + Ib + Ic = 3I0
thus: I0 = In / 3

Example
Va = 120p15o , Vb = 30p-90o , and Vc = 90p165o
Find the sequence voltages
V0 = a (Va + Vb + Vc) = 12.62 40.04O
V1 = a (Va + aVc + a2Vb) = 77.66 28.09O
V2 = a (Va + a2Vb + aVc) = 40.13 -19.85O
Power in Symmetrical Components
S3N = P3N + jQ3N = Sa + Sb + Sc
S3N = VaIa* + VbIb
* + VcIc*
It can be shown: S3N = 3 ( Vo Io* + V1I1
* + V2I2* )
This means there is no coupling between the sequences.
If we can develop a circuit diagram for each sequence, we cancombine them to find phase conditions under unbalancedconditions (such as faults).

Sequence networks for symmetrical components

Following this section, you should be able to :
a. Draw positive, negative, and zero sequence circuits for athree-phase system including transmission lines,transformers, generators, and Y or delta loads
b. Calculate the currents in a three-phase system whenunbalanced voltages are applied

Sequence Networks
In matrix form:
in shorthand: Vp = Zp Ip
- subscript "p" indicates phase quantities- phase quantities are coupled by the neutral - replacing phase quantities by sequence quantities:
Vp = A Vs and Ip = A IsA Vs = ZpA Is

Sequence Impedances
If the phase impedances are all the same, it can be shown:
The sequence impedances for this load are uncoupled and thematrix is diagonal. Thus the sequences are also uncoupled.

If Z11 = Z22 = Z33 and the off diagonal elements of the phase Zmatrix are equal, the sequence networks will be decoupled.
For a delta load, we can convertto an equivalent Y load with noneutral connection as shown.
Also shown are the sequencenetworks for the delta load.
Because of the conversion to aY, the sequence currents onlyrepresent the delta from itsterminals and not the internalload characteristics.

Sequence Networks of Series Impedances
If the impedances are equal in all three phases and there is nomutual impedance:
Zo = Z1 = Z2 = Z
When we calculate the inductance and capacitance of atransmission line, we accounted for the mutual reactance so wecan use this for a transmission line.

Sequence Networks of Generators
Below is a simple model for the synchronous machine that showsall three phases. A generator is designed to generate a positivesequence of voltages.
Thus there is no source in the negative and zero sequencenetworks.

For balanced voltages, V0 = V2 = 0, so there are no sources in thezero and negative sequence circuits.
If voltages are unbalanced, then there will be sources in all threesequence circuits
Asymmetrical faults

By connecting lines to ground or each other, we can applyunbalanced faults. We will have to use symmetrical componentsto find the fault current.
W e can represent a three-phase system by sequencenetworks, each of which canbe reduced to a Theveninequivalent at the point of thefault, as shown.
Connecting the sequencestogether will allows calculationof the fault current

Sequence Networks Assumptions
- Balanced steady-state operation before the fault. Thus,the +, -, and 0 sequence networks are uncoupled beforethe fault.
- During the fault, the only interconnection of the sequencenetworks will be at the point of the fault
- Prefault load current is neglected. Thus voltageeverywhere is the same.
- Neglect resistances and shunt admittances forcalculations by hand. Neglect induction motors unlessthey are very large
