3.0 Introduction
Fortescue's work proves that an unbalanced system of 'n' related phasors can be resolved into 'n' systems of balanced phasors called the symmetrical components of the original phasors. The method of symmetrical components is a general one, applicable to any polyphase system. Usually, we apply symmetrical component method to symmetrical and unbalanced 3- circuits. The term 'symmetrical' in power systems is used for a poly phase N/W if and only if all the phases are having same impedance (i.e., in magnitude as well as phase angle). A N/W is said to be balanced if and only if all the phases containing voltages / currents in same magnitude but should be displaced by same phase angle. According to Fortescue's theorem, three unbalanced phasors of a three phase system can be resolved into three balanced systems of phasors. The balanced sets of components are : 1. Positive sequence components consisting of three phasors equal in magnitude, displaced from each other by 120 in phase, and having the same phase sequence as the original phasors. 2. Negative sequence components consisting of three phasors equal in magnitude, displaced from each other by 120 in phase, and having the phase sequence opposite to that of the original phasors 3. Zero sequence components consisting of three phasors equal in magnitude and with zero phase displacement from each other. * Three sets of balanced phasors which are the symmetrical components of three unbalanced phasors. Shown in below figures.

Considering the positive sequence components, the vector lags behind by 120 electrical leads the vector by 120 electrical since these three are also equal in and the vector magnitude
* For the positive sequence components, Stator and rotor field directions are same. Considering leads by 120 electrical, and the vector the negative sequence components, the vector lags behind by 120 electrical. * Since these three are also equal in magnitude

* For the negative sequence components, Stator and rotor field directions are reverse. For zero sequence components, we have and can be resolved into three sets of balanced Since the three un balanced vectors of phase a, the vectors, the vector is equal to the sum of the positive sequence component of phase a.and zero negative sequence component of phase a, and zero sequence component of phase a. sequence component
* Since all power systems considered to be linear, so superposition principle holds good. Similarly
resolved into a total of 9 vectors, i.e, and 3 unbalanced vectors and . Out of these, only 3 are unknown. So, only three components are we can find out linearly independent. (i.e. from the knowledge of the three vectors all the remaining vectors)
OPERATORS: An operator 'a' is introduced, which when operates upon a phasor rotates it by
+120 without changing the magnitude of the phasor upon which it operates. It is represented as
* Assuming phases a as the reference, the relationship between the symmetrical components of phases 'b' and 'c' in terms of symmetrical component of phase 'a' can be written. (phase sequence is abc)

Sequence Impedance and Networks:

The impedance of a circuit when positive sequence currents alone are flowing is called the impedance to positive sequence current. Similarly, when only negative sequence currents are present, the impedance is called the impedance to negative sequence current. When only zero sequence currents are present, the impedance is called the impedance to zero sequence current. Let Z

3.2.1 Positive sequence Network:
The positive sequence network of a synchronous generator is a balanced and symmetrical three phase network with positive sequence generated voltages (E a1 , E b1 , E c1 ) in the three phase, symmetrical three phase star impedance Z, in each phase and positive sequence currents (I a1 , I b1 , I c1 ) flowing in the three phase of shown in the below figure.

Fig. 3.6 The equivalent circuit for the zero sequence network is different from the positive and negative sequence networks the impedance offered to zero sequence currents depends on grounding of the star point. If the star point is not grounded, then the zero sequence impedance is infinity. If the star point is grounded through some impedance Zn, then the equivalent zero sequence impedance is equal to the sum of the zero sequence phase impedance and is equal to 3Z n . Balanced three phase system consists of positive sequence components only; the negative and zero sequence components being zero. The presence of negative or zero sequence currents in a three phase system introduces asymmetry and is indication of an abnormal condition of the circuit in which these components are found. The vector sum of the positive and negative sequence currents of an unbalanced three phase system is zero. The resultant solely consists of three zero sequence currents i.e., Vector sum of all sequence currents in three phase unbalanced system = + +
In a three phase, 4 wire unbalanced system, the magnitude of zero sequence component is one third of the current in the neutral wire. In a three phase unbalanced system, the magnitude of negative sequence component cannot exceed that of the positive sequence component. If the negative sequence component are greater, the phase sequence of the resultant system would be reversed. The current of a single phase load drawn from a three phase system comprises equal positive, negative and zero sequence component

3.3.2 Voltage of the Neutral:

The potential of the neutral when it is grounded through some impedance or is isolated, will be at ground potential unbalanced conditions such as unsymmetrical faults. The potential of the neutral is given as Vn =I n Z n where Z n is the neutral grounding impedance and I n is neutral current. Here negative sign is used as the current flow from the ground to the neutral of the system and potential of the neutral is lower than the ground. For a 3- phase system, I n = I a +I b +I c = (I a1 + Ia 2 + Ia 0 ) + ( = 3Ia 0 Since the positive sequence and negative sequence components of currents through the neutral are absent, the drops due to these currents are also zero. V n = -3I a0 Z n Ia 1 +aIa 2 Ia 0 ) + (a I a1 + a2 Ia 2 + Ia 0 ) = I a1 (1+a+a2) + Ia 2 (1+a+a2) +3Ia 0

This also means that the two sequence networks are connected in opposition. Now making use of the sequence network equation and the equation (10) V a1 = V a2. E a - I a1 Z 1 = -I a2 Z 2 = I a1 Z 2 I a1 = I f = I b = - I c = a2I a1 + aI a2 + I a0 (I a2 = - I a1 , I a0 =0) = = I a1

The frequent fault in transformer line is single line to ground fault. The most severe fault is 3-phase fault. The most severe fault nearer to generator is single line to ground fault.
From the analysis of the various faults, the following observations are made: 1. Positive sequence currents are present in all types of faults. 2. Negative sequence currents are present in all unsymmetrical faults. 3. Zero sequence currents are present when the neutral of the system is grounded and the fault also involves the ground, and magnitude of the neutral current is equal to 3 I a0. When currents are entering a delta connected winding, positive sequence components of line currents lead the corresponding positive sequence components of phase currents (winding current) in delta winding by 90. Positive sequence components of line currents on the star side of a star delta transformer, lead the corresponding positive sequence line currents on the delta side by 90. Positive sequence components of line and phase voltages on the star side of a star delta transformer lead the corresponding positive sequence line and equivalent phase voltages respectively on the delta side by 90.
Proof:
Balanced three phase system consists of positive sequence components only; the negative and zero sequence components being zero. Balanced system, Voltages must be in the form of V b = a2V a V c = aV a From Inverse symmetrical transformation,

There are two methods to solve these non linear equations: 1. Newton Raphson method 2. Gauss Seidal method Newton Raphson (N.R.) method has got quadratic convergence and is fast as compared to Gauss Seidal and always converge. But N.R. method requires more time per iteration.
