RE: Single Phasing 3-Phase Motors
Modern electronic motor overloads include phase loss protection which would trip and protect the motor.

I would think the noise would be so loud for a single phasing motor that someone would notice immediately. I find it hard to believe that the overloads would not kick the motor out.
I remember before I started up material handling systems I was working in a shop and a motor was single phasing on a saw that was wired incorrectly and the noise was so loud.

And motors that are single phasing don't necessarily make a lot of extra noise, at least not to the point of being noticeable over the machinery noise in many manufacturing environments.
