Limits of motor phase failure monitoring
Motor phase failure monitoring can be activated for both synchronous and asynchronous motors.
However, it is possible that a current flow cannot be detected for sure in the case of certain
operating statuses of correctly connected synchronous motors. Hence, a fault is triggered.
The following table provides an overview:
Special case: Hoist
The special case "Hoist" is already referred to in the chapter
Monitoring of the individual motor phases during operation
Motor phase failure monitoring may trigger a fault message in a hoist if the applied asynchronous
motor reaches the following working point:
• The hoist moves downwards, i.e. the motor is in generator mode.
• The slip frequency equals the field frequency in terms of amount. Both frequencies mutually
neutralise themselves due to their opposite effective directions.
