In the previous section, it is observed that, for fault calculations the Thevenins equivalent networks, at the fault point, are needed for the three sequence networks. Since the three sequence networks are BUS matrices of these sequence networks can be found seperately. The diagonal independent, the Z BUS matrices infact, are the Thevenins equivalent impedances elements of the three sequence Z of the sequence networks as seen from the various buses. Let, the three sequence bus impedance matrices for zero sequence, positive sequence and negative sequence networks be represented as 0) th bus, then Z(0) , Z(1) and Z(2) ( (1) (2) Z BUS , ZBUS and ZBUS respectively. If the fault is at the k kk kk kk of the sequence bus impedance matrices are the zero, positive and negative Thevenins equivalent impedances, respectively, as seen from the faulted bus. Hence, the rst step in the fault analysis BUS matrix is the determination of the three sequence networks and subsequently, nding using Z the bus impedance matrix for each sequence network. To illustrate this step, consider the single line diagram of the power system shown in Fig. 4.60.
Figure 4.60: Single line diagram of Power System The positive sequence equivalent network for the system is shown in Fig. 4.61. In this gure all the elements of the system have been represented by their positive sequence equivalents. Similarly by representing all elements by their negative sequence impedances, the negative sequence equivalent network can be obtained. The negative sequence network is shown in Fig. 4.62. For the zero sequence equivalent network, the generator neutral connections and transformer connections have to be considered. The zero sequence equivalent network is shown in Fig. 4.63. In Bus ] matrix for the three sequence networks is found using [Z Bus ] building the next step, the [Z ( 0 ) ( 1 ) ( 2 ) Bus ], [Z Bus ] and [Z Bus ] matrices are known, the following procedure is followed algorithm.

f as shown in Fig. (a) LG fault: Let the fault be on phase a of bus k with a fault impedance Z 4.64.
From equations (4.98) and (4.101), it can be seen that the three equivalent sequence networks are in series for calculating the sequence components of the fault currents. Hence, generalizing equation (4.101) for fault at kth bus, the expression for sequence component of fault current can be written as:

(b) LL fault: Let the fault be between phases phase b and phase c of bus k through an f as shown in Fig. 4.65. From equation (4.109) and Fig. 4.57 it is observed that the impedance Z positive sequence and negative sequence equivalent networks are connected in phase opposition. Thus, the expression of equation (4.109) for the sequence components of fault current at bus k can be generalized as:
(0) (F ) = 0 I k

To calculate the voltages of buses during fault equation (4.94) can be generalized as:
i(0) (F ) = Z (0) I (0) V ik k (F ) i(1) (F ) = V i(1) (0) Z (1) I (1) V ik k (F ) i(2) (F ) = Z (2) I (2) V ik k (F )
The pre fault voltage Vi1 (0)is usually set as 1.0 00 pu. The bus phase voltage during fault is calculated from the following relation. (4.127)

where z ij , z ij and z ij are the zero, positive and negative sequence impedance respectively of the line between bus i and bus j. The phase currents for the line can be calculated from the symmetrical components using the relation: 174
