Yes, single phase and three phase equipment can be damaged during power outages if the correct steps aren’t taken to prevent damage, such as installing surge protection or phase failures.

Ice buildup does not always mean colder temperatures often ice forms when air leaks into a room, this is a sign of bad insulation which could lead to more strain on the equipment trying to bring the temperature down.

In the event of ice buildup in a cold or freezer room it is always best to have a technician come have a look and determine the cause.
