IEEE Cincinnati September 2025 Meeting
"Power System Fault Analysis Using Symmetrical Components"
Calculating fault currents can be a daunting task without the use of computer based tools. However, it can be useful to learn and understand the process for which these tools calculate the currents available for various fault types. Using Symmetrical Components, unbalanced faults can be broken down into a subset of balanced networks which allow for easy calculation of various fault types. Various protection elements will utilize specific components to create comprehensive protection schemes. This presentation lays the groundwork for understanding how sequence networks and symmetrical components are derived.
