Abstract

Asymmetry in the supply voltage in three-phase circuits disrupts the flow of currents. This worsens the efficiency of the distribution system and increases the problems in determining the mathematical model of the energy system. Among many power theories, the most accurate is the Currents’ Physical Components (CPC) power theory, which tries to justify the physical essence of each component. Such knowledge can be used to improve efficiency and reduce transmission losses in the power system. This article discusses the method of mathematical decomposition of current components in the case of a three-wire line connecting an asymmetric power source with linear time-invariant (LTI) loads. Special cases where irregularities appear in the results of calculations according to the CPC theory are discussed. The problem of equivalent conductance in the case of a non-zero value of the constant voltage component is discussed. The method of determining symmetrical components for periodic non-sinusoidal waveforms is also discussed. These considerations are supported by numerical examples.
