Comparative analysis of three phase, five phase and six phase symmetrical components with MATLAB

Abstract

The polyphase systems plays vital role in electrical systems due to its various advantages in power transmission and drives. In balanced polyphase system, due to the disturbances unbalances may occur which may depend on construction of winding and type of load. Therefore it is very essential to analyze the system components like voltages and currents. To carry out this analysis in phase components is tedious. Sequence components analysis is widely used in power sector to analyze the unbalanced systems and faults. This paper presents mathematical analysis of three phase, five phase and six phase symmetrical components and to simplify the understanding of sequence components comparative performance is analyzed using MATLAB script.
