text: <s>[INST] SMC-3 phase current issue Summary: Issue in a solid state starter showing no current flow in one of the phases Well at first, i have a motor that at the start it is consuming around 120 and 140 amps and at stable operation it just consumes 17 amps with load, i called the motor manufacturer and he told me it is completely normal this behavior. So as a solution to reduce the high amperage i got a solid state starter SMC-3, it did work really well but no more than 3 times of being used it showed me a phase loss or open load fault, and checking the continuity on each phase i could find that in one of the phases it wasnt current flow, i thought that the starter was damaged but as soon i replace it the new starter showed the same behavior, can any body help me on this issue???
