  • A phase sequence detector protects a motor from receiving wrong voltage levels.
  • The phase-sequence detector or phase-sequence checker for a three-phase supply is a device used for testing the three-phase sequence of supply in an electrical circuit or at the input of the electrical motors such as a three-phase induction motor, a  three- phase-energy meter, etc.
  • The control of the motor operation happens in such a way that the protection circuit switches off the motor during under-voltage and overload conditions and corrects the phase sequence during phase reversal conditions.
