As there weer 3 or 4 specific questions recently that appear to be classroom 'problems' that folks want answered without the basics, will try to anticipate the next chapter and give the first posters a link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symmetrical_components

BTW, does anyone still use negative sequence analysis.
In my own case, have not done a neg sequence calc by hand since about 1988 when pspice became available.


Back in slide rule days, negative sequence was an "easy to use" tool for motor torque in heavily differentially poor pf systems.

Wikipedia said:
It can be seen that the transformation matrix above is a discrete Fourier transform, and as such, symmetrical components can be calculated for any poly-phase system. However, by Pontryagin duality, only certain groups have a unique inverse, which is necessary for use in fault analysis

Boy, I'm glad you cleared THAT up for me.;)
