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.
