Abstract
A method for detecting and managing an electrical phase loss condition in a climate controlled transport unit (CCTU) is provided. The method includes monitoring a generator phase signal outputted from a generator of the CCTU. The method also includes calculating, via a CCTU controller, a phase shift amount based on the generator phase signal. Also, the method includes detecting an electrical phase loss condition based on the phase shift amount.
