Subject: Phase loss



Dear All,

When a circuit breaker trips on excessive ground current (>250 A) and while
measuring that one of the 3 phases doesn't carry any current (while the
others have the same current as the protective ground) what could be the
problem ?

I was thinking of a sudden phase loss and would like to know how that could
happen without any loose connections in the system.

The system itself contains a 3-phase rectifier.

Greetings,

Arno van Kesteren
