Three Phase Phase Sequence Permutation Parity Tool

Classify phase-order orientation as permutation parity relative to the explicit [0,1,2] reference.

Description

Count index inversions and return positiveSequence when that count is even.

Sinusoidal electrical calculations need a common frequency, phase reference and RMS or peak convention. Phasor sums, complex power and composite RMS describe different operations; a sign label alone does not establish a physical connection or waveform.

Count index inversions and return positiveSequence when that count is even.

When to use this tool

Use Three Phase Phase Sequence Permutation Parity when checking a stated phasor, power or RMS convention.

How to use the tool and how it works

  1. Enter sequence. Use the units and conventions below.
  2. Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
  3. Read positiveSequence, inversions. Inspect positiveSequence before interpreting the associated values.

Require sequence to contain three distinct values in [0,2]. Count index inversions and return positiveSequence when that count is even.1

Limitations and assumptions

  • The labels refer to the supplied permutation of a declared positive reference order. No waveform, physical phase rotation or connection safety is measured.
  • Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.

Alternative or Complementary methods

Use compatible measured waveforms and a complete circuit or harmonic model when signals are distorted, references differ or practical limits matter.
