Positive sequence component-Negative sequence component-Zero sequence component

  • The size of the voltage or current imbalance in a three-phase system is identified by the positive sequence, negative sequence, and zero sequence components.
  • The symmetry of three-phase systems that is desirable during normal operation is disturbed by unbalanced loads, faults and equipment.
  • Symmetry in a three-phase system is said to be present when the three phase conductor voltages and currents are equal and 120° out of phase with each other. Unbalance occurs when one or both conditions are not met. A simplified analysis of an unbalanced fault in a three-phase system is possible by calculating the symmetrical components, which are comprised of positive sequence, negative sequence, and zero sequence components.
  • Unbalance is a characteristic of the power quality, for which limit values have been set according to international standards (e.g. EN 50160).

  • Positive sequence component

  • Negative sequence component

  • Zero sequence component

    A zero sequence component can only appear if a summation current can flow back via the neutral conductor.

  • Voltage unbalance

  • Underdeviation U (EN 61000-4-30)

  • Underdeviation I

K-factor

The K-factor describes the increase in eddy-current losses when exposed to harmonics. If the transformer has a sinusoidal load, the K-factor = 1. The larger the K-factor, the more harmonics a transformer can be exposed to without overheating.

  • Power Factor (arithmetic)

    The power factor is unsigned.

  • cos phi – Fundamental Power Factor

    • Only the fundamental oscillation component is used to calculate the cos phi
    • Cos phi sign:
      - = for delivery of active power
      + = for consumption of active power

Phase angle Phi

  • The phase angle between current and voltage of phase conductor p is calculated and displayed in accordance with DIN EN 61557-12.
  • The sign of the phase angle corresponds to the sign of the reactive power.

Total cos phi

  • Cos phi sign:
    - = for delivery of active power
    + = for consumption of active power

Fundamental oscillation-reactive power

The fundamental oscillation-reactive power is the reactive power of the fundamental oscillation and is calculated using Fourier analysis (FFT). Voltage and current do not have to be sinusoidal. All reactive power calculated in the device is fundamental oscillation-reactive power.

Sign of reactive power

  • Sign Q = +1 for phi in Area 0... 180 ° (inductive)
  • Sign Q = -1 for phi in Area 180... 360 ° (capacitive)

Reactive distortion power

  • The reactive distortion power is the reactive power of all harmonics and is calculated using Fourier analysis (FFT).
  • The apparent power S contains the fundamental oscillation und all harmonics up to the Mth harmonic.
