The method of symmetrical components is used to simplify asymmetrical three-phase voltages and current analysis by converting the unbalanced system into two sets of balanced phasors and a set of single-phase phasors, or symmetrical components. These sets of phasors are called the positive, negative, and zero sequence components. An understanding of this method is essential for the understanding of fault analysis and modern-day protection schemes. This course will provide you with the knowledge to comprehend the concept and how it is applied. Duration: 1hr 31min of video content Prerequisites: The student should have an understanding of the laws and theorems related to three-phase electrical power systems.

Learning Objectives:

• what symmetrical components are, their main advantages, how manufacturers of equipment use it. You will learn how to use symmetrical components to simplify asymmetrical three-phase voltages and current to understand fault analysis used in modern-day protection schemes.
