Example 18.7. A balanced star connected load takes 90 A from a balanced 3-phase, 4-wire supply. If the fuses in the Y and B phases are removed, find the symmetrical components of the line currents (i) before the fuses are removed (ii) after the fuses are removed Solution. Fig. 18.7. shows the star-connected system with fuses in phases B and Y. (i) Before removal of fuses. Before fuses are removed from Y and B lines, the system is balanced and current in each line is 90 A.
I R = 90 0A ; IY = 90 240 A ; I B = 90 120A Since the system is balanced, it will have only positive sequence currents i.e., negative sequence and zero sequence components will be zero in the three lines. This can be readily established.

I R0 = IY 0 = IB0 1 I +I +I 1 = [900 + 90240 + 90120] Y B = 3 R 3 1 = [900 + 90120 + 90 120] = 0 A 3 Hence zero sequence components in three lines are zero.
1 2 I R2 = 3 I R + a IY + a I B

= = = Also and

1 [ 900 + 1 120 90240 + 1 120 90120] 3


1 [900 + 90120 + 90240] 3 1 [ 900 + 90120 + 90120] = 0 A 3

IY 2 = a I R2 = 1 120 0 = 0 A
2 I B2 = a I R2 = 1 240 0 = 0 A

Hence negative sequence components in the three lines are also zero. It can be easily shown that three positive sequence components will have the following values :
I R1 = I R = 900 A ; IY1 = IY = 90240 A; I B1 = I B = 90 120 A
