Symmetrical Components in Electrical Engineering
Note: This is a recorded video presentation and does not qualify as a live interactive course.
This online engineering PDH video presentation contains a discussion of, and example calculation of the symmetrical components in power systems engineering.
The presentation starts with the introduction and definition of the symmetrical components method and focuses on calculation of three-phase voltages and currents from their symmetrical components. The lesson continues with the reverse process of how to find the symmetrical components of a given three-phase set of voltages or currents. Fully worked out examples are included to demonstrate application of the theory to practice.
This 1 PDH online video presentation is intended primarily for electrical engineers, and in particular those interested in learning the foundations of power systems protection engineering, as well as any engineer interested in learning about the interesting and useful theory of symmetrical components that allows decomposition of three-phase systems into their constituent sequence components.
This continuing education video presentation is intended to provide you with the following specific knowledge and skills:
- Understanding the Method of Symmetrical Components as applied to three-phase electrical systems.
- Learning about how to calculate three-phase voltages (Va, Vb, Vc ) and three-phase currents (Ia, Ib, Ic) , given their zero-sequence, positive-sequence, and negative-sequence components (as V0, V1, V2) and (as I0, I1, I2 ) respectively.
- Learning about the zero-sequence, positive-sequence, and negative-sequence voltages and currents from the given three-phase voltages and currents.
- Understanding the relationship between neutral current and zero-sequence current in wye-connected systems.
