Types of Faults in Power System

This article describes the different types of faults in power system, such as LLL, LL, LG, LLG, and LLLG faults. Faults are defects that cause

symmetrical-and-unsymmetrical-faults-explained

Symmetrical & Unsymmetrical Faults

Two common types of faults encountered in power systems are symmetrical and unsymmetrical, each with distinct characteristics and implications for system operation and protection. When

Symmetrical Components

The method of symmetrical components simplifies the analysis of unbalanced three-phase power systems under normal and abnormal conditions. This method simplifies the problems of unbalanced

sequence-impedance-explained

Sequence Impedance

The sequence impedance of a power system is crucial in understanding how the system behaves under asymmetrical fault conditions. The system’s performance can be determined

phase-sequence-explained

Phase Sequence

Definition: The phase sequence in a three-phase system shows the order of voltages attaining their peak or maximum value. The three phases in the 3-phase
