Claim 14:
15. The system of claim 14 wherein the generator is arranged to determine a phase value of the supplied RF energy between the first electrode and the first jaw and to determine when the determined phase value of the supplied RF energy equals or exceeds a predetermined phase value; wherein the generator, after determining the determined phase value of the supplied RF energy equals or has exceeded the predetermined phase value, is arranged to supply RF energy between the first jaw and the cutting blade instead of the first electrode and the first jaw, wherein the generator is arranged to determine a phase value of the supplied RF energy between the first jaw and the cutting blade to determine when the determined phase value of the supplied RF energy equals or exceeds a second predetermined phase value; and wherein the generator, after determining the determined phase value of the supplied RF energy equals or has exceeded the second predetermined phase value, is arranged to supply RF energy between the first electrode and the first jaw.
