Zero‐Sequence current measurement uncertainty in three‐phase power systems during normal operation

Abstract Zero‐sequence currents in high‐voltage power systems during normal operation can have a significant influence on nearby infrastructure. It is therefore necessary to gain insight into typical levels of zero‐sequence currents in a variety of operational situations. Measurements can provide th...
