Hello Facebook! In 1918 Charles Legeyt Fortescue presented a paper [1] which demonstrated that any set of N unbalanced phasors (that is, any such polyphase signal) could be expressed as the sum of N symmetrical sets of balanced phasors, for values of N that are prime. Only a single frequency component is represented by the phasors. Fortescue (1876–1936) was an electrical engineer. He was born in York Factory, Manitoba. He was the son of a Hudsons Bay Company fur trading factor and was among the first graduates of the Queens University electrical engineering program in 1898. Edith Clarke from last week post was Fortescue’s surrogate mother. [1] Charles L. Fortescue, Method of Symmetrical Co-Ordinates Applied to the Solution of Polyphase Networks. Presented at the 34th annual convention of the AIEE (American Institute of Electrical Engineers) in Atlantic City, N.J. on 28 July 1918. Published in: AIEE Transactions, vol. 37, part II, pages 1027-1140 (1918).
