If you purchased a three phase A/C instead of single phase, take tha A/C and try and to turn into a lovely piece of lawn furniture.

Is the new unit 3 phase? If so you will need to replace it with a single phase unit. Have you looked at the wiring diagram provided in the unit or are you just arbitrarily connecting wires using the trial and error method? You probably shouldn't be wiring things.
