    Connecting 3 phase motors
    I have a 3 phase roof top unit I have to connect to new service. Will keeping it in phase be a problem? Will be enough to follow the a b c legs. It was attached to a different service on the same building coming off its own CT cabinate. The only thing I have ever done with 3 phase is replace breakers. I don't want to screw up my roof top unit.
