Single phasing is an unwanted condition where one phase in a three-phase power system is missing, due to a tripped breaker or other condition. With just two lines hot, there is no phase rotation and thus the power delivered to the load is single-phase. This is very bad for most three-phase loads, especially motors. While a lightly loaded motor will continue to turn, it will be with reduced speed and power. Most moderately loaded motors will stall, but continue to draw current. The current does nothing but produce heat, eventually burning up the motor. This is such a problem that special devices have been designed to detect the phase-loss condition and disconnect all lines automatically to avoid damage.

How do you know Ryb phases when color coding is not there?

First of all, the colours red, yellow, and blue, are applied to LINES not to phases! To determine which line is which, you must compare them with lines that are identified. This process is known as 'phasing out', and is difficult to explain without using a diagram. I suggest you check out 'phasing out' on the internet.
