    Is it safe to connect 1 phase and 3 phase components together in one power strip?
    My two buddies and I are a bunch of mech engineer students trying to build a HVAC laboratory unit for our senior project class and we don't even know if it's possible to connect 1phase components with 3 phase components. Say for example a 3 phase humidifier and a 1 phase fan connected to one power strip. We were thinking of just sticking to 1 phase stuff just for safety reasons and the fact that I don't think our school has the outlet to do 3 phase, but just wanted to know what others think before we start anything...

    Any tips would help a lot!

    Keep them separate and for electric questions with more info go to the electric help board they will be much better at single and 3 phase separation.
