Components
Symmetrical Components
Due to C. L. Fortescue (1918): a
set of n unbalanced phasors in
an n-phase system can be
resolved into n balanced phasors
by a linear transformation
The n sets are called symmetrical
components
One of the n sets is a single-phase
set and the others are n-phase
balanced
sets

Symmetrical component
definition
Three-phase voltages Va, Vb,
and Vc (not necessarily
balanced, with phase sequence
a-b-c) can be resolved into
three sets of sequence
components:
Zero sequence Va0=Vb0=Vc0
Positive sequence Va1, Vb1, Vc1

V a = V0 + V 1 + V 2
Vb = V0 + a2V1 + aV2
Vc = V0 + aV1 + a2V2
V0 = (Va + Vb + Vc)/3
V1 = (Va + aVb + a2Vc)/3
V2 = (Va + a2Vb + aVc)/3
These are the phase a symmetrical
(or sequence) components. The
other phases follow since the
are
balanced.

Remarks
Positive-sequence impedance is equal to
negative-sequence impedance for
symmetrical impedance loads and lines
Rotating machines can have different
positive and negative sequence
impedances
Zero-sequence impedance is usually
different than the other two sequence
impedances
Zero-sequence current can circulate in a
delta but the line current (at the terminals
of the delta) is zero in that sequence

This applies to impedance loads
and to series impedances (the
voltage is the drop across the
series impedances)
