Zero sequence is part of symmetrical components; it's a way of looking at three phase power that simplifies the math involved. In general zero sequence current is synonymous with ground fault current.

Why zero sequence current cannot flow through a star connected machine unless the neutral is grounded?
If the neutral point is not earthed than the zero sequence current will not have any return path.It will be an open circuit for the zero sequence circuit.
What is zero sequence impedance in transmission line?
In symmetrical components, there are three types of impedances - positive sequence (balanced), negative sequence (unbalanced), and zero sequence (ground). In a transformer, positive and negative are equal. Ground impedance is determined by the (same factors as the) positive sequence and is based on the flux paths available through the transformer core that can induce ground current.
How the amount of current that flows out of the battery is related to the amount of current in the branches of the circuit?
Kirchoff's Current Law: The signed sum of the currents entering a node is zero. Assume the top of the battery is a node. The current entering it (from the battery) is equal to the sum of the currents leaving it (to the branches). This adds up to zero.
Kirchoff's law that states the sum of the currents entering the node is equal to the sum of the currents leaving the node on a parallel circuit?
KCL (Kirchoff's Current Law) applies to any circuit, not just parallel circuits. The sum of the currents entering a node will always equal the sum of the currents leaving the node. KVL states that the sum of the voltages around a closed loop is always zero.
How can you have a ground fault protection in a 3 phase 3W system?
3 phase ground fault detection on a 3 phase system requires that the vector summation of all three phase currents be measured. The vector sum of these currents should equal zero, or nearly zero for a balanced system. If a ground fault exists, then the vector sum will not equal zero. This condition must be validated using i2t techniques in order to eliminate false trips.
What is mean by Zero phase Current transformer?
at first what is zero sequence current.. Zero sequence currents, in simple terms, are those found in the neutral conductor. They include the unbalanced 50 Hz currents and the 3rd, 9th, 15th and other triplen harmonic currents. Zero sequence currents appear in the neutral because they do not cancel in the way that 50Hz currents cancel. This is due to the fact that the zero sequence component on one phase is always in phase with the zero sequence components of the other 2 phases. we can say 50 Hz current on one phase, on the other hand, is always 120° out of phase with the other phases 50 Hz current which causes their balanced portions to cancel in the neutral. now, any method of ground current sensing involves detecting zero sequence currents. For solidly grounded systems, connecting the phase current transformers together with a common return allows measurement of zero sequence current in the common lead, if there is no neutral load current. The vector sum of the phase currents is equal to the zero sequence ground current. Under normal load conditions, the vector sum of the three phase currents is near zero. It is not exactly zero as the system capacitive charging current of the load circuit is non-zero. but it is limited value..if it is beyond the limit this zero sequence CT take care of it. All phase conductors are passed through the window of a single CT referred to as a zero sequence CT. Under normal circumstances, the three phase currents will sum to zero resulting in an output of zero from the zero sequence CT's secondary. If one of the phases were shorted to ground, the sum of the phase currents would no longer equal zero causing a current to flow in the secondary of the zero sequence CT. This current would be detected by the relay as a ground fault. Regards, Balaji K APL, Ahmedabad
What is the symmertrical components of three phase system?
Symmetrical components are a good way to represent out-of balance currents in 3-phase power supplies. In general an unbalanced set of currents in a 3-phase system can be represented by three compents, which are an in-sequence component, an out-of-sequence (rotating oppositely) component, and a zero-sequence component. At a high-power substation there would be meters for all three components of the current. When the currents are perfectly balanced only the positive sequence current would be non-zero.
How calculate zero phase sequence capacitance of transformer?
In my experience, the zero sequence of transformers is not calculated, it is directly tested following ANSII/IEEE guidlines for Z1no, Z2no, and Z1ns tests (for three phase, three winding transformers). Rough estimations of zero sequence impedance can be determined based on the positive sequence and core form of the transformer. A Shell type core will have a zero sequence of ~100% the positive sequence because the flux stays in the core / follows the same path as it does for positive sequence currents. For a core type, the zero sequence will be ~80-90% typically, because the flux must travel outside the core. This is for three winding transformer.
Why zero sequence current cannot flow through a star connected machine unless the neutral is grounded?
If the neutral point is not earthed than the zero sequence current will not have any return path.It will be an open circuit for the zero sequence circuit.
What is the practical values of zero sequence impedance?
zero sequence value of 110 kv XLPE is more than its reference value what is the cause
What is zero sequence impedence?
Zero sequence impedance indicates a homopolar symmetrical component. It is a term used in electrical engineering within a three-phase system of linear combinations.
Can zero be the common difference for arithmetic progression?
yes. A zero common difference represents a constant sequence.
What sequence is formed from difference of differences between terms of a sequence?
These are called the second differences. If they are all the same (non-zero) then the original sequence is a quadratic.
Under what conditions is the sum of the currents zero in star connected load?
yes
What are triplen currents?
Ref: Website of Hershey Energy Systems Triplen Harmonics - The triplen harmonics, in alternating current power systems, are defined as the odd multiples of the 3rd harmonic (ex. 3rd, 9th, 15th, 21st etc.). Triplen harmonics are of particular concern because they are zero sequence harmonics, unlike the fundamental, which is positive sequence. The consequence of this fact is that the magnitude of these currents on the 3 phases are additive in the neutral. Edited the original to add: ", in alternating current power systems, "
A sequence formed by subtracting each term of sequence from next term is?
If the first two numbers are 0, 1 or -1 (not both zero) then you get an alternating Fibonacci sequence.
