In the past through various posts in this site I learned that in an open delta connected system if you lose a phase, the breaker does not trip and the remaining 2 phases continue operating.
well come to find out the term "lose a phase" has many possibilities. If one of the phases gets grounded out, is it true that system continues functioning, current between phases remains the same but something wacky happens to the voltage?
someone said if you "lose a phase" the full current will jsut travel through the remaining 2 phases. Did he mean if one of the phases shorts or something?
Thanks
