In this paper a method to filter or segregate sequence components, using minimal hardware is presented. The method does not involve phase shifts other than that of 90 degrees. Thus it can be implemented using very simple hardware or if implemented in software will need considerably less amount of processing. The method consists in first separating the zero sequence component. Then the zero sequence component is subtracted from the input signal to get a signal which is sum of positive and negative sequence components. Further it is pointed out that difference between positive and negative sequence components is easily found from the difference of the phase quantities. Thus the sum and difference of positive and negative sequence components are available, from which individual positive and negative sequence components can be easily separated by simple addition and subtraction operations.
