    230 single phase A\C running on 460 3 phase circuit- OK?

    Is there any reason I should not use 1 leg of the 460 three phase circuit and ground to run a single phase 220 Air condition unit. Employees at the School maintenance report they do this all the time. If this is true then I connect nothing to the ground on the unit or the same ground I am using...
