| Definition: | one of the three symmetrical sequence components which exists only in an unsymmetrical three-phase system of sinusoidal quantities and which is defined by the following complex mathematical expression:
X2 = 1/3(XL1 + a2XL2 + a XL3)
where a is the 120 degree operator, and XL1, XL2 and XL3 are the complex expressions of the phase quantities concerned, and where X denotes the system current or voltage phasors
