Equipment in power systems is represented by
equivalent circuits, which are designed for the
individual tasks of power system analysis. For the
calculation of short-circuits, the equivqalent
circuits iclude resistance and inductive reactance.
Shunt elements, i.e. capacitive reactance are
omitted.
The equivalent circuit has couplings in the three-
phase system which are of an inductive type.

The ralationship between voltages and currents of a
three-phase system can be described by the
following equations:
In a matrix notation
where
Matrix Z is the matrix of self-impedances and mutual
(coupling) impedances of the element. Self-
impedances Zii (i = R, S, T) are located on the main
diagonal, and mutual impedances outside it. For
symmetrical elements, the self-impedances of
individual phases are equal.

Rotating element (electric motor, generator) –

Mutual impedances of a given phase in relation
to the other phases are not equal because
windings of these phases are differently
positioned in relation to the rotor.

Sign – (minus) indicates that currents in the other
phases induce in the given phase EMFs having the
opposite sense in relation to self-induction EMFs,
which results from the mutual location of stator
phase windings.
In the equations of 3-phase circuit the voltage loss in
each phase of the component is dependent on all
phase currents, and on the self-impedance of this
phase and the mutual impedances between this
phase and the other phases.

receives the form:
Voltage drop in each
phase depends only on
the current of this

The method of symmetrical components
The method of symmetrical components
Let us consider the three-phase RL symmetrical circuit in
which currents and voltages may form unbalanced systems.
The multiplicity of couplings between phases complicates the
circuit analysis. Therefore, a mathematical transformation is
sought which transfers phase components to different
system. The following conditions should apply for the
transformation:
The transformed voltages should depend only on one
transformed current.
The transformation should be linear - the linear
relationship between current and voltage should be
retained.
The desired transformation (transformation 0, 1, 2) consists in
replacing the unbalanced systems of currents and phase
voltages by their symmetrical components, i.e. by the three
symmetrical vector systems – the zero-sequence (0), the
positive sequence (1) and the negative-sequence system (2).

The impedance matrix of symmetrical components is
diagonal.
Thus the coupled set of equations which described
the 3-phase circuit in phase variables becomes an
uncoupled set of equations in the symmetrical
