4.6.6 NEGATIVE SEQUENCE OVERCURRENT
Rotor heating in generators due to negative sequence current is a well known phenomenon. Generators have very specific
capability limits where unbalanced current is concerned (see ANSI C50.13). A generator should have a rating for both con-
tinuous and also short time operation when negative sequence current components are present.
