Unsymmetrical Faults on Power Systems
• Buses (5) and (6) are fictitious internal nodes of the transformers
which facilitate computer application of the Zbus building algorithm

• We have not shown calculations for the very high impedance branches
representing the open circuits

Let us remove the rows and columns for buses (5) and (6) from the
matrix to obtain the effective working matrix

• The zeros in the 𝑍𝑏𝑢𝑠 show that zero-sequence current injected into
bus (1) bus (4) of Fig. 12.6(b) cannot cause voltages at the other buses
because of the open circuits introduced by the -Y transformers

• Note also that the j0.08 per unit reactance in series with the open
(0)
circuit between buses (6) and (4) does not affect 𝑍𝑏𝑢𝑠 since it cannot
carry current

sequence networks in a similar manner, we obtain

• Here we assumed that the j0.20 per unit reactance in the bus (4) and a new
bus (p). However, node (p) is grounded and hence we need to remove the row
and column related to node (p) from the matrix

Calculating all elements, we obtain

Note: since the matrix is diagonally symmetric, i.e., 𝑍𝑖𝑗 = 𝑍𝑗𝑖 we need
calculate only the diagonal elements and half of the off-diagonal
elements.
