open circuit in any phase, a negative-sequence current flows and it is equal and
opposite to the previous load current in a healthy phase. The combination of
positive and negative-sequence currents produces phase currents approximately 1.7
times the previous load in each healthy phase and zero current in the open phase.
The negative-sequence currents flow through the stator windings inducing negative-
sequence voltage in the rotor windings. This can result in a high rotor current that
damages the rotor winding. The frequency of the induced current is approximately
twice the supply frequency. Due to skin effect, the induced current with a
frequency double the supply frequency encounters high rotor resistance which
leads to excessive heating even with phase currents with value less than the rated
current of the motor.
The negative-sequence impedance of induction or a synchronous motor is
approximately equal to the locked rotor impedance, which is approximately one-
sixth of the normal motor impedance, considering that the motor has a locked-rotor
current of six times the rated current. Therefore, even a three percent voltage
unbalance can lead to 18 percent stator negative sequence current in windings. The
severity of this is indicated by a 30-40 percent increase in the motor temperature
due to the extra current.
