A balanced 3-phase system consists of_______________?

Correct answer: B. positive sequence currents only

  • A. zero sequence currents only
  • B. positive sequence currents only
  • C. negative and zero sequence currents
  • D. zero, negative and positive sequence currents

Explanation

A balanced three-phase set has equal magnitudes separated by 120°, which forms a positive-sequence set only. Negative- and zero-sequence components indicate unbalance or certain fault conditions.
