Performance of generator negative-sequence protection during single-phase fault

Negative-sequence current is a component that resulted from unbalance conditions that occur in the system. Theoretically, problems caused by the negativesequence current are rare and can be ignored, but in reality the presence of negative sequence current which exceeds the permitted level will affec...
