Line-Line Fault Circuit: Parallel or Series?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

In calculating a line-line fault, the Positive and Negative Phase Sequence networks are placed in parallel, while the zero phase sequence is excluded. This configuration does not create a series circuit, as the currents in different parts of the network are not equal (i1≠i2≠if). When performing calculations, it is essential to use the per unit (p.u.) system, ensuring that all voltages, currents, and impedances are expressed in p.u. and denoted in lowercase letters.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Positive and Negative Phase Sequence networks
  • Knowledge of line-line fault analysis in electrical systems
  • Familiarity with the per unit (p.u.) system in electrical engineering
  • Basic concepts of circuit theory and impedance
NEXT STEPS
  • Study the application of the per unit (p.u.) system in fault analysis
  • Learn about the implications of phase sequence networks in electrical circuits
  • Research methods for calculating line-line faults in three-phase systems
  • Explore the differences between series and parallel circuits in fault conditions
USEFUL FOR

Electrical engineers, power system analysts, and students studying fault analysis in three-phase electrical systems will benefit from this discussion.

Hi,

When calculating a line-line fault, I understand that the Positive and Negative Phase Sequence networks are placed in parallel with each other as shown in the first attached image, and that the zero phase sequence is excluded. Although this is connected in parallel, does it not produce a series circuit such as the one shown in the second attachment?

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?

As you said, equivalent positive and negative phase seq. networks can be placed in parallel when considering this fault. However, this doesn't produce a series circuit of all the impedances fed by emf "e" since currents in different parts of new network are generally different (i1≠i2≠if).BTW, if you calculate in p.u. system, all voltages,currents,impedances must be in p.u., and denoted in small letters. I have modified your schematic accordingly:
