So we know when it comes to a 3 phase motor that if we want to reverse motor ration we just have to switch 2 of the phase's
But there was this one time we had a temp construction hoist and it was working fine but when the utility brought in the power we hand an issue with it since the utility doesn't match there cables to our phase's
So we switch 2 phase's and it still did not work so we switch it again
For example
Black and red
And then
Blue and black
We had to do this a few times till it worked
Each time using a different combination
Why did this happen
