Zero sequence current, known as residual current or triplen harmonic current, is a phenomenon that occurs in electrical systems due to the presence of unbalanced loads or nonlinear loads. The primary reason for the presence of zero current is unbalanced loads. In a three-phase power system, the loads are ideally balanced, meaning that the three phases draw equal currents. However, in practical sce...
