1 SYMMETRICAL COMPONENTS AND SEQUENCE NETWORKS When a symmetrical three phase fault occurs in a three phase system, the power system remains in the balanced condition. Hence single phase representation can be used to solve symmetrical three phase fault analysis. But various types of unsymmetrical faults can occur on power systems. In such cases, unbalanced currents flow in the system and this in turn makes the bus voltages unbalanced. Now the power system is in unbalanced

the bus voltages unbalanced. Now the power system is in unbalanced condition and single phase representation can not be used. Three phase unbalanced currents and voltages can be conveniently handled by Symmetrical Components. Therefore unsymmetrical faults are analyzed using symmetrical components. Some of the important aspects of symmetrical components are presented in brief.

Sequence impedances and sequence networks The impedance of any three phase element is of the form

Thus for any three phase element having the impedance cb,a,z the corresponding sequence impedance 0,1,2z can be obtained from

0,1,2z = AzA cb,a,1− (12)

The single phase equivalent circuit composed of sequence voltages, sequence currents and impedance to current of any one sequence is called the sequence network for that particular sequence. The sequence network includes any generated emf of like sequence. Consider a star connected generator with its neutral grounded through an impedance nZ as shown in Fig. 2. It is assumed that the generator is designed to generate balanced voltage.

As far as zero sequence currents are concerned, the three phase system behaves as a single phase system. This is because of the fact that at any point the zero sequence currents are same in magnitude and phase. Therefore, zero sequence currents will flow only if a return path exists and hence extra care is needed while drawing the zero sequence network.

Special attention is required while obtaining the zero sequence network of three phase transformers. The zero sequence network will be different for various combination of connecting the windings and also by the manner in which the neutral is connected. The zero sequence networks are drawn remembering that no current flows in the primary of a transformer unless current flows in the secondary ( neglecting the small magnetizing current ).

16

( neglecting the small magnetizing current ). Five different cases are considered and the corresponding zero sequence network are shown in Fig. 6. The arrows in the connection diagram show the possible path for the flow of zero sequence current. Absence of arrow indicates that the zero sequence current can not flow there. Impedance 0Z accounts for the leakage impedance Z and the neutral impedances NZ3 and

nZ3 where applicable.

2 UNSYMMETRICAL FAULTS AT GENERATOR TERMINALS Single line to ground fault ( LG fault ), Line to line fault ( LL fault ) and Double line to ground ( LLG fault ) are unsymmetrical faults that may occur at any point in a power system. To understand the unsymmetrical fault analysis, let us first consider these faults at the terminals of unloaded generator. This treatment can be extended to unsymmetrical fault analysis when the fault occurs at any point in a power system.

Consider a three phase unloaded generator generating balanced three phase voltage. The sequence components of the terminal voltages are

evident that as compared to cb,a,busZ , construction of 0,1,2

busZ requires less computer time and less core storage. For a 100 bus system, cb,a,

busZ will be a 300 x 300 full matrix; whereas for 0,1,2

busZ , we need 3 numbers of 100 x 100 matrices. Thus only 1/3 rd of the core storage is required for 0,1,2

busZ as compared to cb,a,busZ . Hence for

unsymmetrical fault analysis, use of 0,1,2busZ is more advantages than cb,a,

busZ .

When the fault occurs at bus p , it is to be noted that only the thp column of 1busZ , 2

busZ and 0busZ are involved in the calculations. If the symmetrical

components of the fault currents , namely (1)afI , (2)

It is important to remember that the (1)

afI are the symmetrical component currents in the stubs hypothetically attached to the system at the fault point. These currents take on values determined by the particular type of fault being studied, and once they are calculated, they can be regarded as negative injection into the corresponding sequence networks.
