For analysis of three‐wire three‐phase linear systems, the transformations wye‐delta and delta‐wye from theorem of Kennelly are used. These transformations can be applied to balanced systems but not to unbalanced systems. This is due to the fact that zero‐sequence voltages or zero‐sequence currents are present in these types of connections. This modifies the value of the unbalance power in the load with respect to the generator. These zero‐sequence voltages and currents that appear in generators and loads are not transferred over the network. The zero‐sequence voltage in a delta‐connected load and the zero‐sequence current that is obtained using theorem of Kennelly in a star‐connected load, or vice versa, cause different imbalance effects. Here, the equivalent circuit for any point of the system is developed. The impedances of the equivalent circuit in any node are calculated using line‐to‐line voltages and line currents. This equivalent circuit incorporates all energetic phenomena, including the unbalance of all downstream loads. For its verification, the phasor unbalance power is used.
