Abstract - Survey of the literature reveals that fault

a n a l y s m six phase system has been dealt wlth in a
piece-meal way. The analysis of either symmetrical ground
faults or symmetrical phase faults has so far been reported.
This paper presents the analysis of any simultaneous sus-
tained ground and phase fault. A single algebric equation
has been presented for the calculation of sequence curr-
ents foilowing a sustained simultaneous ground and phase
fault a t the terminals of a six phase generator. The
equation can be simulated on a digital computer or a
network analyser for the simulation of any type of fault.
The connection of sequence networks Is a t once indicated
when the sequence currents are written In the format
suggested in this paper. The variety of faults on a six
phase system is far more complicated than on a three
phase system. The generalized treatment of all faults will
prove useful in evolving protective relaying schemes for
six phase power systems.

Circuits for simulating such faults w i l l invariably include
phase shifting devices. Examples of this class of faults
are (b-g), (a-b), (c-d-e-g) etc. However, faults of this
class can usually be converted into faults of class (1) by
suitably selecting the reference phase. It Is, therefore,
sufficient to consider only faults of class (1) for simulation +
purposes.

This equation is the same as Eq. (13.5). The reason is

that i f the ground connection is removed, the common
112 voltage of terminals a and d will be the mean of Ea and
Ed. This mean is zero. Therefore, grounding the terminals

14. CONCLUSIONS
Although the variety of faults on a six phase system
C z (11z+3zo)
1 Is considerably more complex than in a three phase
system, their analysis can be done by a single equation
z+ (1 3.6) presented here. For a given fault involving both phase and
9Z+Zo ground faults only two matrices a and D1 need be written.
These matrices may be called 'phase fault coefficient
The connection of sequence networks is shown in Fig. 9. matrix' and 'ground fault coefficient matrix', respectively.
The sequence currents when written in the format
suggested here indicate the method of connecting sequence
networks for the simulation of the given fault. The method
1given In the paper can be applied to a general n-phase
system.
15. Future work
