Power System Faults
Faults in three-phase power systems are short circuits Line-to-ground Line-to-line
Result in the flow of excessive current Damage to equipment Heat – burning/melting Structural damage due to large magnetic forces
Bolted short circuits True short circuits – i.e., zero impedance
In general, fault impedance may be non-zero
Faults may be opens as well We’ll focus on short circuits
K. Webb ESE 470

Types of Faults
Type of faults from most to least common: Single line-to-ground faults Line-to-line faults Double line-to-ground faults Balanced three-phase (symmetrical) faults
We’ll look first at the least common type of fault –the symmetrical fault – due to its simplicity
K. Webb ESE 470
Symmetrical Faults5
K. Webb ESE 470

Symmetrical Faults
Faults occur nearly instantaneously Lightening, tree fall, arcing over insulation, etc.
Step change from steady-state behavior Like throwing a switch to create the fault at 𝑡𝑡 = 0
Equivalent circuit model:
R: generator resistance L: generator inductance 𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡 = 0 for 𝑡𝑡 < 0 Source phase, 𝛼𝛼, determines voltage at 𝑡𝑡 = 0 Short circuit can occur at any point in a 60 Hz cycle
𝑣𝑣 𝑡𝑡 = 2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺 sin 𝜔𝜔𝑡𝑡 + 𝛼𝛼
K. Webb ESE 470

Symmetrical Faults
The governing differential equation for 𝑡𝑡 > 0 is𝑑𝑑𝑖𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑡𝑡
+ 𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡𝑅𝑅𝐿𝐿
=2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺𝐿𝐿
sin 𝜔𝜔𝑡𝑡 + 𝛼𝛼
The solution gives the fault current
𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡 =2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺𝑍𝑍 sin 𝜔𝜔𝑡𝑡 + 𝛼𝛼 − 𝜃𝜃 − sin 𝛼𝛼 − 𝜃𝜃 𝑒𝑒−𝑡𝑡
𝑅𝑅𝐿𝐿
where 𝑍𝑍 = 𝑅𝑅2 + 𝜔𝜔𝐿𝐿 2 and 𝜃𝜃 = tan−1 𝜔𝜔𝐿𝐿𝑅𝑅
This total fault current is referred to as the asymmetrical fault current It has a steady-state component
𝑖𝑖𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑡𝑡 =2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺𝑍𝑍 sin 𝜔𝜔𝑡𝑡 + 𝛼𝛼 − 𝜃𝜃
And a transient component
𝑖𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑎𝑎 𝑡𝑡 = −2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺𝑍𝑍 sin 𝛼𝛼 − 𝜃𝜃 𝑒𝑒−𝑡𝑡
𝑅𝑅𝐿𝐿

Symmetrical Faults
Magnitude of the transient fault current, 𝑖𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑎𝑎, depends on 𝛼𝛼 𝑖𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑎𝑎 0 = 0 for 𝛼𝛼 = 𝜃𝜃 𝑖𝑖𝑑𝑑𝑎𝑎 0 = 2𝐼𝐼𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 for 𝛼𝛼 = 𝜃𝜃 − 90°
𝐼𝐼𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺/𝑍𝑍 is the rms value of the steady-state fault current
Worst-case fault current occurs for 𝛼𝛼 = 𝜃𝜃 − 90°
𝑖𝑖 𝑡𝑡 =2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺𝑍𝑍 sin 𝜔𝜔𝑡𝑡 −
𝜋𝜋2 + 𝑒𝑒−𝑡𝑡
𝑅𝑅𝐿𝐿

Symmetrical Faults
Important points here:
Total fault current has both steady-state and transientcomponents – asymmetrical
Magnitude of the asymmetry (transient component) depends on the phase of the generator voltage at the time of the fault
K. Webb ESE 470
10
Generator Reactance
The reactance of the generator was assumed constant in the previous example
Physical characteristics of real generators result in a time-varying reactance following a fault Time-dependence modeled with three reactance values 𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′′: subtransient reactance 𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′ : transient reactance 𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑: synchronous reactance
Reactance increases with time, such that𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′′ < 𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′ < 𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑
K. Webb ESE 470
11
Sub-Transient Fault Current
Transition rates between reactance values are dictated by two time constants: 𝜏𝜏𝑑𝑑′′: short-circuit subtransient time constant 𝜏𝜏𝑑𝑑′ : short-circuit transient time constant
Neglecting generator resistance and assuming 𝜃𝜃 = −𝜋𝜋2
, the synchronous portion of the fault current is
𝑖𝑖𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 𝑡𝑡 = 2𝑉𝑉𝐺𝐺1𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′′
−1𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′
𝑒𝑒− 𝑡𝑡𝜏𝜏𝑑𝑑′′ +
1𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′
−1𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑
𝑒𝑒− 𝑡𝑡𝜏𝜏𝑑𝑑′ +
1𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑
sin 𝜔𝜔𝑡𝑡 + 𝛼𝛼 −𝜋𝜋2
At the instant of the fault, 𝑡𝑡 = 0, the rms synchronous fault current is
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′ =𝑽𝑽𝐺𝐺𝑋𝑋𝑑𝑑′′
This is the rms subtransient fault current, 𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′
This will be our primary metric for assessing fault current

Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Short Circuits
Next, we’ll calculate the subtransient fault current resulting from a balanced three-phase fault
We’ll make the following simplifying assumptions: Transformers modeled with leakage reactance only Neglect winding resistance and shunt admittances Neglect Δ-𝑌𝑌 phase shifts
Transmission lines modeled with series reactance only Synchronous machines modeled as constant voltage sources
in series with subtransient reactances Generators and motors
Induction motors are neglected or modeled as synchronous motors
Non-rotating loads are neglected
K. Webb ESE 470
14
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Short Circuits
We’ll apply superposition to determine three-phase subtransient fault current
Consider the following power system:
Assume there is a balanced three-phase short of bus 1 to ground at 𝑡𝑡 = 0
K. Webb ESE 470
15
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Short Circuits
The instant of the fault can be modeled by the switch closing in the following line-to-neutral schematic
The short circuit (closed switch) can be represented by two back-to-back voltage sources, each equal to 𝑽𝑽𝐹𝐹
K. Webb ESE 470
16
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Short Circuits
Applying superposition, we can represent this circuit as the sum of two separate circuits:
Circuit 1 Circuit 2
K. Webb ESE 470
17
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Short Circuits
Assume that the value of the fault-location source, 𝑽𝑽𝐹𝐹, is the pre-fault voltage at that location Circuit 1, then, represents the pre-fault circuit, so
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹1′′ = 0
The 𝑽𝑽𝐹𝐹 source can therefore be removed from circuit 1
Circuit 1 Circuit 2
K. Webb ESE 470
18
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Short Circuits
The current in circuit 1, 𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿, is the pre-fault line current Superposition gives the fault current
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹1′′ + 𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹2′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹2′′
The generator fault current is𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺1′′ + 𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺2′′
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 + 𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺2′′
The motor fault current is𝑰𝑰𝑴𝑴′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀1′′ + 𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀2′′
𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀′′ = −𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 + 𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀2′′
K. Webb ESE 470
19
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
For the simple power system above: Generator is supplying rated power Generator voltage is 5% above rated voltage Generator power factor is 0.95 lagging
A bolted three-phase fault occurs at bus 1 Determine:
Subtransient fault current Subtransient generator current Subtransient motor current

Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
First convert to per-unit Use 𝑆𝑆𝑏𝑏 = 100 𝑀𝑀𝑉𝑉𝑀𝑀
Base voltage in the transmission line zone is
𝑉𝑉𝑏𝑏,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 = 138 𝑘𝑘𝑉𝑉
Base impedance in the transmission line zone is
𝑍𝑍𝑏𝑏,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 =𝑉𝑉𝑏𝑏,𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡2
𝑆𝑆𝑏𝑏=
138 𝑘𝑘𝑉𝑉 2
100 𝑀𝑀𝑉𝑉𝑀𝑀= 190.4 Ω
The per-unit transmission line reactance is
𝑋𝑋𝑡𝑡𝑡𝑡 =20 Ω
190.4 Ω= 0.105 𝑝𝑝.𝑢𝑢.
K. Webb ESE 470
21
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
The two per-unit circuits are
These can be simplified by combining impedances
K. Webb ESE 470
22
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
Using circuit 2, we can calculate the subtransient fault current
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′ =1.05∠0°𝑗𝑗0.116
= 9.079∠ − 90° 𝑝𝑝.𝑢𝑢.
To convert to kA, first determine the current base in the generator zone
𝐼𝐼𝑏𝑏,𝐺𝐺 =𝑆𝑆𝑏𝑏
3𝑉𝑉𝑏𝑏,𝐺𝐺=
100 𝑀𝑀𝑉𝑉𝑀𝑀3 ⋅ 13.8 𝑘𝑘𝑉𝑉
= 4.18 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
The subtransient fault current is
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′ = 9.079∠ − 90° ⋅ 4.18 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′ = 37.98∠ − 90° 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
K. Webb ESE 470
23
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
The pre-fault line current can be calculated from the pre-fault generator voltage and power
𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 =𝑆𝑆𝐺𝐺3𝑽𝑽𝐺𝐺′′
=100 𝑀𝑀𝑉𝑉𝑀𝑀
3 ⋅ 1.05 ⋅ 13.8 𝑘𝑘𝑉𝑉∠ − cos−1 0.95
𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 = 3.98∠ − 18.19° 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
Or, in per-unit:
𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 =3.98∠ − 18.19° 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
4.18 kA= 0.952∠ − 18.19° 𝑝𝑝.𝑢𝑢.
This will be used to find the generator and motor fault currents
K. Webb ESE 470
24
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
The generator’s contribution to the fault current is found by applying current division
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺2′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′0.505
0.505 + 0.15= 7.0∠ − 90° 𝑝𝑝.𝑢𝑢.
Adding the pre-fault line current, we have the subtransient generator fault current
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 + 𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺2′′
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 0.952∠ − 18.19° + 7.0∠ − 90°
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 7.35∠ − 82.9° 𝑝𝑝. 𝑢𝑢.
Converting to kA
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 7.35∠ − 82.9° ⋅ 4.18 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
𝑰𝑰𝐺𝐺′′ = 30.74∠ − 82.9° 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
K. Webb ESE 470
25
Symmetrical 3-𝜙𝜙 Fault – Example
Similarly, for the motor
𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀2′′ = 𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹′′0.15
0.505 + 0.15= 2.08∠ − 90° 𝑝𝑝.𝑢𝑢.
Subtracting the pre-fault line current gives the subtransient motor fault current
𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀′′ = −𝑰𝑰𝐿𝐿 + 𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀2′′
𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀′′ = −0.952∠ − 18.19° + 2.08∠ − 90°
𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀′′ = 2.0∠ − 116.9°
Converting to 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀′′ = 2.0∠ − 116.9° ⋅ 4.18 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀
𝑰𝑰𝑀𝑀′′ = 8.36∠ − 116.9° 𝑘𝑘𝑀𝑀

Symmetrical Components
In the previous section, we saw how to calculate subtransient fault current for balanced three-phase faults
Unsymmetrical faults are much more common Analysis is more complicated
We’ll now learn a tool that will simplify the analysis of unsymmetrical faults The method of symmetrical components
K. Webb ESE 470
28
Symmetrical Components
The method of symmetrical components: Represent an asymmetrical set of 𝑁𝑁 phasors as a sum of 𝑁𝑁
sets of symmetrical component phasors These 𝑁𝑁 sets of phasors are called sequence components
Analogous to: Decomposition of electrical signals into differential and
common-mode components Decomposition of forces into orthogonal components
For a three-phase system (𝑁𝑁 = 3), sequence components are:
Zero sequence components Positive sequence components Negative sequence components
K. Webb ESE 470
29
Sequence Components
Zero sequence components Three phasors with equal magnitude and
equal phase 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎, 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑎, 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎
Positive sequence components Three phasors with equal magnitude and
± 120°, positive-sequence phase 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1, 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏1, 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1
Negative sequence components Three phasors with equal magnitude and
± 120°, negative-sequence phase 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2, 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏2, 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2
K. Webb ESE 470
30
Sequence Components
Note that the absolute phase and the magnitudes of the sequence components is not specified Magnitude and phase define a unique set of sequence
components
Any set of phasors – balanced or unbalanced – can be represented as a sum of sequence components

K. Webb ESE 470
31
Sequence Components
The phasors of each sequence component have a fixed phase relationship If we know one, we know the other two Assume we know phase 𝑎𝑎 – use that as the reference
For the zero sequence components, we have𝑽𝑽𝑎 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑎 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎 (2)
For the positive sequence components,𝑽𝑽1 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1 = 1∠120° ⋅ 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏1 = 1∠240° ⋅ 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1 (3)
And, for the negative sequence components,𝑽𝑽2 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2 = 1∠240° ⋅ 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏2 = 1∠120° ⋅ 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2 (4)
Note that we’re using phase 𝑎𝑎 as our reference, so𝑽𝑽𝑎 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎, 𝑽𝑽1 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1, 𝑽𝑽2 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2
K. Webb ESE 470
32
Sequence Components
Next, we define a complex number, 𝑎𝑎, that has unit magnitude and phase of 120°
𝑎𝑎 = 1∠120° (5)
Multiplication by 𝑎𝑎 results in a rotation (a phase shift) of 120° Multiplication by 𝑎𝑎2 yields a rotation of 240° = −120°
Using (5) to rewrite (3) and (4)
𝑽𝑽1 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1 = 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏1 = 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎1 (6)
𝑽𝑽2 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2 = 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏2 = 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎2 (7)
K. Webb ESE 470
33
Sequence Components
Using (2), (6), and (7), we can rewrite (1) in a simplified form
𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
=1 1 11 𝑎𝑎2 𝑎𝑎1 𝑎𝑎 𝑎𝑎2
𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑽𝑽1𝑽𝑽2
(8)
The vector on the left is the vector of phase voltages, 𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝 The vector on the right is the vector of (phase 𝑎𝑎) sequence
components, 𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 We’ll call the 3 × 3 transformation matrix 𝑨𝑨
We can rewrite (8) as
𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝 = 𝑨𝑨𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 (9)
K. Webb ESE 470
34
Sequence Components
We can express the sequence voltages as a function of the phase voltages by inverting the transformation matrix
𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 = 𝑨𝑨−1𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝 (10)
where
𝑨𝑨−1 = 13
1 1 11 𝑎𝑎 𝑎𝑎21 𝑎𝑎2 𝑎𝑎

The same relationships hold for three-phase currents
The phase currents are
𝑰𝑰𝑝𝑝 =𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎
And, the sequence currents are
𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠 =𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑰𝑰1𝑰𝑰2
K. Webb ESE 470
36

The transformation matrix, 𝑨𝑨, relates the phase currents to the sequence currents

Sequence Components – Balanced System
Before applying sequence components to unbalanced systems, let’s first look at the sequence components for a balanced, positive-sequence, three-phase system
For a balanced system, we have
𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 ⋅ 1∠ − 120° = 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 ⋅ 1∠120° = 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
The sequence voltages are given by (12) The zero sequence voltage is
𝑽𝑽𝑎 =13 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏 + 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 =
13 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
𝑽𝑽𝑎 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 1 + 𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑎
Applying the identity 1 + 𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑎 = 0, we have
𝑽𝑽𝑎 = 0
K. Webb ESE 470
38
Sequence Components – Balanced System
The positive sequence component is given by
𝑽𝑽1 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏 + 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
𝑽𝑽1 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎 ⋅ 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎2 ⋅ 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
𝑽𝑽1 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎3𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎3𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
Since 𝑎𝑎3 = 1∠0°, we have
𝑽𝑽1 =13
3𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
𝑽𝑽1 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
K. Webb ESE 470
39
Sequence Components – Balanced System
The negative sequence component is given by
𝑽𝑽2 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏 + 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
𝑽𝑽2 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎2 ⋅ 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎 ⋅ 𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
𝑽𝑽2 =13𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎4𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎 + 𝑎𝑎2𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎
Again, using the identity 1 + 𝑎𝑎2 + 𝑎𝑎 = 0, along with the fact that 𝑎𝑎4 = 𝑎𝑎, we have
𝑽𝑽2 = 0
K. Webb ESE 470
40
Sequence Components – Balanced System
So, for a positive-sequence, balanced, three-phase system, the sequence voltages are
𝑽𝑽𝑎 = 0, 𝑽𝑽1 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎, 𝑽𝑽2 = 0
Similarly, the sequence currents are𝑰𝑰𝑎 = 0, 𝑰𝑰1 = 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎, 𝑰𝑰2 = 0
This is as we would expect No zero- or negative-sequence components for a
positive-sequence balanced system Zero- and negative-sequence components are only
used to account for imbalance
K. Webb ESE 470
41
Sequence Components
We have just introduced the concept of symmetric components Allows for decomposition of, possibly unbalanced,
three-phase phasors into sequence components
We’ll now apply this concept to power system networks to develop sequence networks Decoupled networks for each of the sequence
components Sequence networks become coupled only at the point
of imbalance Simplifies the analysis of unbalanced systems
K. Webb ESE 470
Sequence Networks42
K. Webb ESE 470
43
Sequence Networks
Power system components each have their own set of sequence networks Non-rotating loads Transmission lines Rotating machines – generators and motors Transformers
Sequence networks for overall systems are interconnections of the individual sequence network
Sequence networks become coupled in a particular way at the fault location depending on type of fault Line-to-line Single line-to-ground Double line-to-ground
Fault current can be determined through simple analysis of the coupled sequence networks
K. Webb ESE 470
44
Sequence Networks – Non-Rotating Loads
Consider a balanced Y-load with the neutral grounded through some non-zero impedance
Applying KVL gives the phase-𝑎𝑎-to-ground voltage
𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑛𝑛
𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 (15)
For phase 𝑏𝑏:𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑛𝑛 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛 𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 (16)
Similarly, for phase 𝑐𝑐:𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏 + 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦 + 𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛 𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎 (17)

or𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝 = 𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝𝑰𝑰𝑝𝑝 (18)
where 𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝 and 𝑰𝑰𝑝𝑝 are the phase voltages and currents, respectively, and 𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝 is the phase impedance matrix
We can use (9) and (13) to rewrite (18) as
𝑨𝑨𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 = 𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝𝑨𝑨𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠 Solving for 𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠
𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 = 𝑨𝑨−1𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝𝑨𝑨𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠or
𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 = 𝒁𝒁𝑠𝑠𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠 (19)

(20)
Equation (19) then becomes a set of three uncoupled equations
𝑽𝑽𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦 + 3𝑍𝑍𝑛𝑛 𝑰𝑰𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑎𝑰𝑰𝑎 (21)
𝑽𝑽1 = 𝑍𝑍𝑦𝑦𝑰𝑰1 = 𝑍𝑍1𝑰𝑰1 (22)

Sequence Networks – 3-𝜙𝜙 Lines
We can rewrite (25) in terms of sequence components𝑨𝑨𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 − 𝑨𝑨𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠′ = 𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝𝑨𝑨𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 − 𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠′ = 𝑨𝑨−1𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝𝑨𝑨𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 − 𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠′ = 𝒁𝒁𝑠𝑠𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠 (26)
where 𝒁𝒁𝑠𝑠 is the sequence impedance matrix
𝒁𝒁𝑠𝑠 = 𝑨𝑨−1𝒁𝒁𝑝𝑝𝑨𝑨 (27)
𝒁𝒁𝑠𝑠 is diagonal so long as the system impedances are balanced, i.e. Self impedances are equal: 𝑍𝑍𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑏𝑏𝑏𝑏 = 𝑍𝑍𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 Mutual impedances are equal: 𝑍𝑍𝑎𝑎𝑏𝑏 = 𝑍𝑍𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑍𝑍𝑏𝑏𝑎𝑎
K. Webb ESE 470

Power in Sequence Networks
We can relate the power delivered to a system’s sequence networks to the three-phase power delivered to that system
We know that the complex power delivered to a three-phase system is the sum of the power at each phase
𝑆𝑆𝑝𝑝 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎∗ + 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏∗ + 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎∗
In matrix form, this looks like
𝑆𝑆𝑝𝑝 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑛 𝑽𝑽𝑏𝑏𝑛𝑛 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑛𝑛𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎∗𝑰𝑰𝑏𝑏∗𝑰𝑰𝑎𝑎∗
𝑆𝑆𝑝𝑝 = 𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝𝑇𝑇𝑰𝑰𝑝𝑝∗ (28)

Power in Sequence Networks
Recall the following relationships
𝑽𝑽𝑝𝑝 = 𝑨𝑨𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 (9)
𝑰𝑰𝑝𝑝 = 𝑨𝑨𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠 (13)
Using (9) and (13) in (28), we have
𝑺𝑺𝑝𝑝 = 𝑨𝑨𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠 𝑇𝑇 𝑨𝑨𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠 ∗
𝑺𝑺𝑝𝑝 = 𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠𝑇𝑇𝑨𝑨𝑇𝑇𝑨𝑨∗𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠∗ (29)
Computing the product in the middle of the right-hand side of (29), we find
𝑨𝑨𝑇𝑇𝑨𝑨∗ =3 0 00 3 00 0 3

where 𝑰𝑰3 is the 3×3 identity matrix

Equation (29) then becomes

𝑺𝑺𝑝𝑝 = 3𝑽𝑽𝑠𝑠𝑇𝑇𝑰𝑰𝑠𝑠∗
𝑺𝑺𝑝𝑝 = 3 𝑽𝑽𝑎 𝑽𝑽1 𝑽𝑽2𝑰𝑰𝑎∗𝑰𝑰1∗𝑰𝑰2∗
𝑺𝑺𝑝𝑝 = 3 𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑰𝑰𝑎∗ + 𝑽𝑽1𝑰𝑰1∗ + 𝑽𝑽2𝑰𝑰2∗
The total power delivered to a three-phase network is three times the sum of the power delivered to the three sequence networks The three sequence networks represent only one of the three

Unsymmetrical Faults
The majority of faults that occur in three-phase power systems are unsymmetrical Not balanced Fault current and voltage differ for each phase
The method of symmetrical components and sequence networks provide us with a tool to analyze these unsymmetrical faults
We’ll examine three types of unsymmetrical faults Single line-to-ground (SLG) faults Line-to-line (LL) faults Double line-to-ground (DLG) faults

Unsymmetrical Fault Analysis
To simplify our analysis, we’ll make the following assumptions1. System is balanced before the instant of the fault
2. Neglect pre-fault load current All pre-fault machine terminal voltages and bus voltages are equal
to 𝑉𝑉𝐹𝐹3. Transmission lines are modeled as series reactances only
4. Transformers are modeled with leakage reactances only5. Non-rotating loads are neglected6. Induction motors are either neglected or modeled as
synchronous motors

and𝑽𝑽𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎 = 𝑽𝑽𝑎 + 𝑽𝑽1 + 𝑽𝑽2 (6)
Using (5) and (6) in (1), we get
𝑰𝑰𝑎 + 𝑰𝑰1 + 𝑰𝑰2 = 1𝑍𝑍𝑓𝑓
𝑽𝑽𝑎 + 𝑽𝑽1 + 𝑽𝑽2

𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹 = 4.76∠ − 150° 𝑝𝑝.𝑢𝑢.
Using the previously-determined current base, we can convert the fault current to kA
𝑰𝑰𝐹𝐹 = 𝐼𝐼𝑏𝑏1 ⋅ 4.76∠ − 150°
