Why Does Amplitude Not Matter in Positive Sequence Detector Circuits?

Click For Summary
In positive sequence detector circuits, the amplitude of auxiliary currents i'alpha and i'beta is deemed unimportant, as stated in "Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning." This is because the dual method for extracting fundamental positive-sequence voltage relies on phase information rather than amplitude. Simulations in tools like Simulink confirm that the circuit functions correctly regardless of current amplitude. The mathematical operations within the circuit likely lead to cancellation effects that render amplitude irrelevant. Understanding these principles is crucial for effective application in power conditioning.

Hi,

I am studying a positive sequence detector and have some trouble understanding it. I understand most of it, but the author in the book "Instantaneous Power Theory and Applications to Power Conditioning" writes:
For extracting the fundamental positive-sequence voltage with the dual method shown in Fig. 4-27, the amplitude of the auxiliary currents i'alpha and i'beta are not important, and can be chosen arbitrarily.

I don't understand why the amplitude of the currents from the PLL circuit does not matter. I have simulated this in Simulink and verified that the circuit works. Does the amplitude cancel each other out behind all the math in some of the blocks?

Best regards

Thread 'I thought it was only Amazon that sold unsafe junk'
I grabbed an under cabinet LED light today at a big box store. Nothing special. 18 inches in length and made to plug several lights together. Here is a pic of the power cord: The drawing on the box led me to believe that it would accept a standard IEC cord which surprised me. But it's a variation of it. I didn't try it, but I would assume you could plug a standard IEC cord into this and have a double male cord AKA suicide cord. And to boot, it's likely going to reverse the hot and...
