My Question is based on ANSI C50.41 which read in part:
13.4.1 Effect on Performance - General
The effect of unbalanced voltages on polyphase induction motors is equivalent to the introduction of a "negative sequence voltage" having a rotation opposite to that occurring with balanced voltages. This negative-sequence voltage produces an air gap flux rotating against the rotation of the rotor, tending to produce high currents. A small negative-sequence voltage may produce current in the windings considerably in excess of those present under balanced voltage conditions.
My question is this, how can I see this mathematically? I'm drawing a complete blank on what to do to visualize what this is telling me.
