Not much to go on with.

 

Makes sense.
The stator current with standstill 3 phase induction motor is very high - typically 6x rated current is not unusual. A persistent standstill condition would necessitate that the motor overcurrent protection isolate the "faulty" load.
If no stator winding is present then no overload condition would occur.

 

Me or OP?

 

Both I expect. I edited my post somewhat.

Very cheap to run though!
