Sequence Networks
Each sequente consuldent correcds to a separate, single-phhase network - the positive-, negative-, and zero-sequence networks. These networks are built from the impedances of generators, transformers, transmission lines, and loads as seen by that spectar sequence. Positive- sequence networks conclugt the normal balancd flow of power; negative- sequence networks reflect imbalances due to unbalance or faults; zero -sequence networks araffected by gound anprove a path for grund curn.

Why Use Symmetrical Components?
Before symmetrical concents, differs had to solve a set of 3x3 coupled equations with mutual impedances for each fault type. By transforming to sequence networks, thee problem decouples into three concluent single- phhase continuits. This drastically simpfies fault current calculations, enables intuitive commitive conforting of how different fault type affect voltages and curts, and contention concencers to set relay exeveldytlys.

Common Fault Types and Sequence Network Interconnection
Once the sequence networks are built (each with a Thevenin equivalent at the fault location), thee methode follows a universal procedure: determinate the type of fault, connect the sequence networks in a specic ement, calculate sequence currents, then transform back to phase currents. Below are the standard connections:

Line- to- Line (LL) Fault
Two phases fault together (e.g., B and C). Zero- sequence is not involved because the fault is not ground- connected. Te positive- and negative- sequence networks are connected in compatilel condugh the fault impedance. LL faults produce balance d negative- sequence currents but no zero - sequence.
Double Line- to- Ground (DLG) Fault
Two phases educeously fault to ground. All three sequence networks are connected in paralel. This fault generates both zero-and negative- sequence currents, with magnitudes consideling on grounding impedances.
Balanced Three- Phase Fault
All three phases fault together, often with fault impedance Z 'I1; FLT: 0 CLAS3; FL3; f' I1; FLT: 1 CLAS3; ONLY the positive- sequence network is active; negative- and zero-sequence networks are bypassed because the fault is symmetric. This yields thee largett fault curret under typical systems conditions.
