Where < is between 90o and + 90o . For < greater than zero degrees the load would be
inductive ( I a lags Va ). For \ less than zero degrees the load would be capacitive ( I a leads Va ).

Consider the symmetrical system of phasors in Fig. 7.2. Being balanced, the phasors have equal
amplitudes and are displaced 120o relative to each other. By the definition of symmetrical
components, V b1 always lags V a1 by a fixed angle of 120o and always has the same magnitude
as V a1 . Similarly V c1 leads V a1 by 120o. It follows then that

Where the subscript (1) designates the positive sequence component. The system of phasors is
called positive sequence because the order of the sequence of their maxima occur abc.
Similarly, in the negative and zero sequence components, we deduce

Where the subscript (2) designates the negative sequence component and subscript (0) designates
zero sequence components. For the negative sequence phasors the order of sequence of the
maxima occur cba, which is opposite to that of the positive sequence. The maxima of the
instantaneous values for zero sequence occur simultaneously.

In all three systems of the symmetrical components, the subscripts denote the components in the
different phases. The total voltage of any phase is then equal to the sum of the corresponding
components of the different sequences in that phase. It is now possible to write our symmetrical
13
components in terms of three, namely, those referred to the a phase (refer to section 3 for a
refresher on the a operator).

The unbalanced system is therefore defined in terms of three balanced systems. Eq. (7.6) may be
used to convert phase voltages (or currents) to symmetrical component voltages (or currents) and
vice versa [Eq. (7.7)].
Example 7.1
Given Va 553o , Vb 7 164 o , Vc 7105o , find the symmetrical components. The
phase components are shown in the phasor form in Fig. 7.3

Each of the individual sequence may be considered independently. Since each of the sequence
networks involves symmetrical currents, voltages and impedances in the three phases, each of
the sequence networks may be solved by the single-phase method. After converting the power
system to the sequence networks, the next step is to determine the type of fault desired and the
connection of the impedance sequence network for that fault. The network connections are listed
in Table 8.1
