The currents can be represented as a phasor diagram, with the positive sequence current at the top, the negative sequence current at the bottom, and the zero sequence current in the middle.<\/p>\n<p>The zero sequence current is the current that is common to all three phases. It is zero in magnitude and has a phase angle of zero. The positive sequence current is the current that is in phase with the voltage. The negative sequence current is the current that is 120 degrees out of phase with the voltage.<\/p>\n<p>In a balanced three-phase system, the sum of the three currents is zero.
