The method of symmetrical components 10 was developed to reduce the complexity of unbalanced fault analysis and is widely used in computer programs.
With asymmetrical three phase faults, the use of symmetrical components help to reduce the complexity of the calculations as transmission lines and components are by and large symmetrical, although the fault may be asymmetrical. The output for each component can be subsequently added to obtain final values. Knowledge of symmetrical components is important in performing mathematical calculations and understanding system faults.
