phase quantity is equal to the sum of its symmetrical phasors.
The
Va
= Va0 + Va1 +Va2
Vb
= Vb0 + Vb1 +Vb2
Vc
= Vc0 + Vc1 +Vc2
common form of the equations are written in a-phase terms.
The a Operator Used
to shift the a-phase terms to coincide with the b and c-phase Shorthand to indicate 120° rotation. Similar to the j operator of 90°.
Va
Rotation of the a Operator 120° counter clock-wise rotation. A vector multiplied by 1 /120° results in the same magnitude rotated 120°.
aVa Va
Rotation of the a2 Operator 240° counter clock-wise rotation. A vector multiplied by 1 /240° results in the same magnitude rotated 240°.

Learning Check Given
three current sources How can zero sequence be produced to test a relay? How
can negative sequence produced?
How can zero sequence be produced to test a relay? A
single source provides positive, negative and zero sequence – Note that each sequence quantity will be 1/3 of the total current
Connect
the three sources in parallel and set their amplitude and the phase angle equal to one another – The sequence quantities will be equal to each source output
How can negative sequence produced?
A single source provides positive, negative and zero sequence – Each sequence quantity will be 1/3 of the total current
Set the three source’s amplitude equal to one another and the phase angles to produce a reverse phase sequence (Ia at /0o, Ib at /120o and Ic at /-120o) – Only negative sequence will be produced
