• Three phase voltages are resolved into the following three sets of

sequence components:
• Zero-sequence components, consisting of three phasors with equal
magnitudes and with zero phase displacement, as shown in Figure
• Positive-sequence components, consisting of three phasors with
equal magnitudes, 120 phase displacement, and positive sequence
• Negative-sequence components, consisting of three phasors with
equal magnitudes, 120 phase displacement, and negative sequence
• these sequence components are denoted as V0, V1, and V2.
• They are defined by the following transformation:
• We define the following vectors Vp and Vs, and matrix A:

Vp = A Vs
• The symmetrical component transformation can also be applied to
currents, as follows. Let
