   "slightly out of phase" ?    
      
   This could get confusing, as at least from my point of view, I can't   
   tell if it is out of phase or not. Depends (like the previous posts   
   say) whether it is wired delta or wye. If delta and that is tapped   
   then it is not out of phase. If wye, and you are using two of the   
   phases, then things could get bad. Depends on the pump.   
      
   Were this me, I'd perhaps put a scope on the outputs and view the   
   phase angles that way (there may be better ways, but that's what would   
   be easy for me to do). If they are truely out of phase, I'd check with   
   the maker of the pump motor to see what they recommend.   
      
   (The 120/240 implies that they are in phase to me...)
