11.11 SUMMY
Unbalanced voltages and currents can be resolved into their symmetrical
components. Problems are solved by treating each set of components separately
and superimposing the results.
In balanced networks having strictly symmetrical coupling between phases
the currents of one phase sequence induce voltage drops of like sequence only.
Impedances of circuit elements to currents of dierent sequences are not
necessarily equal.
A knowledge of the positive-sequence network is necessary for power-ow
studies, fault calculations, and stability studies. If the fault calculations or
stability studies involve unsymmetrical faults on otherwise symmetrical systems,
the negative- and zero-sequence networks are also needed. Synthesis of the
zero-sequence network requires particular care because the zero-sequence
network may dier from the others considerably.
