DELTA-connected instrument transformers
The zero-sequence voltage is not measurable under the Delta connection of instrument transformers and is defaulted to
zero. The table below shows an example of symmetrical components calculations for the ABC phase rotation.
Table 6-1: Symmetrical components calculation example
* The power system voltages are phase-referenced – for simplicity – to V
AG
and V
AB
, respectively. This, however, is a
relative matter. It is important to remember that the D30 displays are always referenced as specified under

.
The example above is illustrated in the following figure.
