Did he write that he's using 240V?

Industrial wiring practice here is to tag the incoming 3-phase wires
L1, L2, L3, then prefix them with increasing numbers as they pass
through switches, breakers, etc.

Single phase AC is likely to be marked Hot, Neutral and Ground (ACH,
ACN, GND, z.B.) although company drafting standards vary.

Hi Jim

First, I agree with your posts. Is it likely that there any country
where a 3 phase motor requires it's power to be connected to the neutral? I
dont mean safety ground. I refer to the input voltage to which *any* 3
phase motor is connected so it can deliver power to a load.
