An actuator unit in a roll stabilizer having a supply line port (118) for providing a supply voltage, and a converter (112) for providing an AC voltage using the supply voltage and at least two phase lines (114, 116, 314) for providing alternating voltage to actuator ports (132, 134) of an actuator (110) that is operable using AC voltage, the actuator unit comprises a device (104) for actuating the actuator unit (102), the device comprising:
- an import device (160) for importing an interrupt signal (140) indicating an interruption (130) of a provision of the supply voltage at the supply line port (118);
- and
- a provision device (162) for providing a protection signal (142, 144, 146, 148) using the interrupt signal (140) at an interface to the protection equipment (152, 154, 156, 158), which is designed to at least partially prevent a generator voltage that either is fed or can be supplied to the phase lines (114, 116;
- 314) from being transmitted via the actuator ports (132, 134) in response to the protection signal (142, 144, 146, 148).
