Zero-sequence impedance values
Location of earth faults requires both positive-sequence and zero-sequence
impedances. For short circuit faults, zero-sequence impedances are not required.
The positive-sequence impedance per unit values for the lines are typically known
or can easily be obtained from data sheets. The zero-sequence values are generally
not as easy to obtain as they depend on the actual installation conditions and
configurations. Sufficient accuracy can, however, be obtained with rather simple
calculations using the following equations, which apply per phase for symmetrically
transposed three-phase aluminium overhead lines without ground wires.
