Each element can therefore be Teprevented By Thre decoupled sequence networks (on single-phase basis) pertaining to positive, negative and zero sequences, respectively. EMFs are involved only in a positive sequence network of synchronous machines. For finding a particular sequence impedance, the element in question is subjected to currents and voltages of that sequence only. With the element operating under these conditions, the sequence impedance can be determined analytically or through experimental test results. With the knowledge of sequence networks of elements, complete pesitive, negative and zero sequence networks of any power system can’ be assembled, As will be explained in the next chapter, these networks are suitably intezconnected to simulate different unsymmetrical faults. The sequenve currents and voltages during the fault are then calculated from which actual fault currents and voltages can be found. 10.6 SEQUENCE IMPEDANCES AND NETWORKS OF SYNCHRONOUS MACHINE ‘generator or motor) pohie't emits Figure 10.11 depicts an unloaded synchronous m and E, are the induce grounded through a reactor (impedance Z,).
