It is the colour coding of the wires from left to right when connections are made to terminals. In Canada it is Red, Black, Blue. By using this standard every connection in the poly-phase (3 phase) system will be the same. Once a motor is phase rotated and marked with the appropriate colours it can be reconnected any where else in the system and run with the correct rotation.
A "three-phase system" is a polyphase system having three phases. The term "polyphase system" just means a system having multiple phases. If it is used by itself, "a polyphase system" doesn't mean "a three-phase system".
Three Phase
A two-phase system is an archaic 'polyphase' system, in which two phase voltages are displaced by 90 electrical degrees, enabling the use of self-starting induction motors. It's unlikely you'll come across a two-phase system these days.
To determine the phase sequence of a three-phase system, you can use a phase sequence indicator or a voltmeter. Connect the phase sequence indicator to the three phases (A, B, and C) and read the display; it will indicate the sequence as either clockwise (ABC) or counterclockwise (ACB). Alternatively, measure the voltages between phases using a voltmeter; the phase with the highest voltage at a given time indicates the leading phase, allowing you to deduce the sequence. Always ensure to follow safety precautions when working with live electrical systems.
Polyphase systems are used because they allow the efficient transmission of electric power, in terms of power transmitted per kilogram of wire. Polyphase systems with more than three phases are very uncommon.
No. It depends on the inductive and capacitive reactance of the load.
Positive, negative, and zero sequence impedances are calculated using the sequence components of the system's phase currents and voltages. For a three-phase system, you can express the phase currents and voltages in terms of their sequence components using the transformation matrix. The positive sequence impedance is derived from the phase impedances during balanced conditions, while negative and zero sequence impedances are calculated using the same method under unbalanced conditions, typically by analyzing the system's response to faults or imbalances. These impedances are essential for studying fault conditions and system stability in power systems.
The symbol of phase sequence is RYB
The potential of each line of a three-phase system is displaced from the other two by 120 electrical degrees. The sequence, or order, in which the potential of each line reaches its peak value is termed the 'phase sequence' of the system. The 'normal' phase sequence of an alternator is considered to be the 'positive phase sequence', is arbitrarily assigned colours (e.g. red-yellow-blue, etc.), numbers (e.g. 1-2-3), letters (e.g. A-B-C), or a combination of letters or numbers (e.g. L1-L2-L3). If that alternator should run backwards, or (far more likely) if its terminals were disconnected and then incorrectly reconnected, the the sequence would be A-C-B (etc.), which would be considered to be 'negative phase sequence'. Before connecting two generators (or two complete transmission/distribution systems) together, their phase sequence must be confirmed as being the same. Reconnecting a three-phase motor with the wrong phase sequence would result in it running in the reverse direction and, possibly, damaging its load.

The order in which the voltage of the coil reaches to the maximum value is called the Phase Sequence.POSITIVE PHASE SEQUENCE: If the coil is rotated in anticlockwise direction, the phase sequence will be Positive Phase Sequence, i.e., R-Y-B or A-B-C.NEGATIVE PHASE SEQUENCE: If the coil is rotated in clockwise direction, the phase sequence is called Negative Phase Sequence, i.e., R-B-Y or A-C-B.NOTE: Phase Sequence is of great importance in parallel operation of three phase transformers and alternators.
Positive sequence refers to a balanced set of three-phase electrical quantities that are equal in magnitude and phase-displaced by 120 degrees. In power systems, positive sequence components represent the normal operating conditions of the system, where all phases contribute equally to the overall power flow. This concept is essential for analyzing and managing electrical systems, particularly in the context of fault analysis and stability studies.
