This document provides an introduction to symmetrical components analysis for power system fault analysis. It discusses key symmetrical component concepts including positive, negative, and zero sequence components. Equations are presented for transforming unbalanced three-phase systems into balanced symmetrical components as well as for analyzing and synthesizing systems from the component quantities. Various fault types are reviewed including three-phase, phase-to-phase, phase-to-ground, open phase, and examples are shown of interpreting faults using symmetrical components.
