Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for accurately determining negative sequence current in a three-phase turbine-driven generator, the currents indicative of power oscillations and of torques harmful to turbine buckets. A signal conditioner and phase-shifter network are described which provide precise amplitude and phase angle adjustments and null balancing features which permit accurate determination of the magnitude of negative sequence current even though this current is a very small quantity determined as the difference between two large signals.
