Symmetrical Component Analysis Results
The power monitor calculates sequence voltages and currents for use in 
symmetrical component analysis, which transforms a set of unbalanced three-
phase vectors into three sets of balanced vectors. The positive sequence 
components are a set of vectors that rotate the same direction as the original 
power vectors, and represent that portion of the applied voltage or current 
capable of doing work. Negative sequence components rotate opposite to the 
original vectors, and represent the portion of the applied power that results in 
losses due to unbalance. The percent unbalance value is the ratio between the 
negative and positive current sequence in a three-phase system. This ratio is the 
most accurate measurement of current unbalance because the measurement 
accounts for the magnitude of the individual currents and the relative phase 
displacement. The zero sequence component is a vector that does not rotate, and 
represents ground or neutral current (I4) or voltage. The component analysis 
results are included in Tabl e 1 1
.
Setup
Only basic metering input setup is required for voltage and current metering.
