5.0 Introduction

The effect of asymmetry is often ignored,
however, and analysis is done on the feeder
assuming the design is symmetric. Although
this approach does incur error, it is common
because the alternative is more laborious.

5.1 Symmetrical Components: Motivation
4
Step 1: Consider a set of phasors that do not
add to zero (because of different magnitudes
or because of angular separation different
than 120º or because of both). Assume that
they have phase sequence a-b-c.
a-b-c a-b-c
Vc Vc
Va Va
VR0
Vb Vb
Then:

V A +VC +VC = 0
VR0 Va
VB
Vb
-V0=-VR0/3

As a test, try to add any 2 a-b-c symmetrical
sets and see what you get. See Fig. 4.

One can observe from Fig. 4 that the
resultant phasor set, denoted by the solid
lines, are in fact symmetrical!

Claim: We can represent ANY
unsymmetrical set of 3 phasors that sum to 0
as the sum of 2 constituent symmetrical sets:
A positive (a-b-c) sequence set and
A negative (a-c-b) sequence set.

The implication of this theorem that any
unsymmetrical set of 3 phasors Va, Vb, Vc
can be written in terms of the above
sequence components in the following way:
Va = Va0 + Va1 + Va2
12
In the same way, we are going to define the
“a” operator as:
a =1∠120 ° (11)
Note that
(16)
− a 2 = −1∠240 ° =1∠60 °
14
Positive sequence quantities: The relation
between these quantities can be observed
immediately from the phasor diagram and
can be expressed using the a-operator.

Vb2 = aV a2
Vc2 = a 2Va2 (24)
This results in
Va = Va0 + Va1 + Va2

(sequence quantities) of the a-phase. We can
write this in matrix form as:
Va 1 1 1 Va0
V = 1 a 2
b a Va1 (25)
Vc 1 a a 2 Va2
Defining

A = 1 a 2 a

we see that eq. (25) can be written as:
