In a 3 phase power system, say for a 3 phase motor - it is necessary to have all three phases intact to be able to run the motor efficiently, safely. If any one phase fails , the motor still continues to run but the temperature raises rapidly, due to high current. The motor winding can burn out, can trip off due to overload.

Hence a device called phase failure relay is connected. It constantly reads all the 3 phases and cuts off the main supply in case any one phase fails.

What is a fail passive and a fail operational auto pilot system in aircrafts?

Fail-passive Automatic Landing System An automatic landing system is fail-passive if, in the event of a failure, there is no significant out-of-trim condition or deviation of flight path or attitude - but the landing is not completed automatically. NOTE: For a fail-passive automatic landing system the pilot assumes control of the aircraft after a failure. The following are typical arrangements: (1) A monitored automatic pilot in which automatic monitors will provide the necessary failure detection and protection. (2) Two automatic pilots with automatic comparison to provide the necessary failure detection and protection. Fail-operational Automatic Landing System. An automatic landing system is fail-operational if, in the event of a failure, the approach, flare and landing can be completed by the remaining part of the automatic system. NOTE: In the event of a failure, the automatic landing system will operate as a fail-passive system. The following are typical arrangements: (1) Two monitored automatic pilots, one remaining operative after a failure. (2) Three automatic pilots, two remaining operative (to permit comparison and provide necessary failure detection and protection) after a failure.

Three phase voltage in india?

It is 230V single phase and 440V in 3 phase system at 50 Hz.AnswerIf the single-phase voltage is 230 V, then the three-phase voltage must be 400 V, not 440 V. The line voltage is 1.732 times the phase voltage.
