Switch any two of the 3 hot wires and the problem will go away. Electricians have a little gadget containing a tiny three phase motor and a dial with arrows on it to show the phase rotation direction. If there is a live circuit, they check the rotation before and after making any changes to be sure that the rotation direction has not accidentally been changed. Some 3 phase equipment can be badly damaged if the phase rotation direction is reversed.
