negative sequence component, which comes into picture because of the unbalance in
the supply, is particularly troublesome. This is because the motor offers very small
impedance to the negative sequence currents. In fact, the negative sequence
Thus, a 4% negative sequence supply voltage causes more than 24% negative

times the full-load current. This causes increased heating of the stator.

motor. This causes currents of [f(2 - s)] frequency, i.e. almost double the supply
frequency, to be induced in the rotor circuit. Because of skin effect, the rotor offers five

Fig. 2 Negative sequence voltage relay for protection against unbalance in supply
voltage.
There are certain situations where the negative sequence relay does not operate
correctly. For example, if there is an open circuit fault between the supply and the relay
then the relay measures the negative sequence voltage across the motor, which is
substantial and, therefore, the relay operates correctly. This is shown in Fig.3.

However, if the open circuit is between the relay and the motor then the negative
sequence relay ends up measuring the negative sequence component of the supply
voltage, which is very small and does not cause the relay to pick up as shown in Figure

For positive detection of such faults, we need to detect the negative sequence
component in the line currents.
