Measure negative sequence currents.
Measure negative sequence currents.
(OP)
I'm wondering if anybody has a setup for measuring negative sequence currents. (using 5A CTs)
Anything analoge, not digital please.

If you have a copy of the Westinghouse "Applied Protective Relaying", there is an example schematic shown in Figure 3-8. Older electro-mechanical 46 relays operated on this principle.

One possible “out-of-the-box” capability is a Basler BE1-46N with analog output option http://www.basler.com/downloads/udj7bull.pdf

is what I want. I don't have the book dpc refers to, so please describe it in detail...

However seemingly inconvenient, libraries are wonderful places.

HCB-1 pilot wire relay includes negative sequence filter. Manual is available here but very slow. I don't know if the diagram is in there:

I hate to try to think about reinventing the wheel since it's already been done. But... I'm just thinking about how you would do it starting from the definition.... something like I- = Ia + A*Ib + A^2*Ic where A is exp(j*120 degrees)... and you might switch the B and C coefficients depending upon your power system phase rotation.
So... how to shift the phase of a current. Well certainly putting it through an RC or RL network could develop that phase shift on the voltage... then how to add the voltages? Hmmm.

page 189 figure 22 A positive-phase-sequence-current filter and relay.
By interchanging the leads in which Ib and Ic flows, the filter becomes a negative-phase-sequence-current filter.
