6.2 Inverter and Sequence Protection
Open-phase Protection
Open-phase protection is used to prevent overcurrent levels induced at the inverter inputs due to
an open-phase within the input power supply. Open-phase output protection is also available. An
open-phase at the connection between the motor and the inverter output may cause the motor
to stall, due to a lack of torque.
