Hi,.
I want to measure the voltage of a rectified 3 phase(3*400V) bus with a microcontroller. The 3 phase is just rectified, not isolated with transformer.

The microcontroller will be suplied from a one phase transfomer(~12V).

Can I connect the two negative line after the rectifier? I need it because the microcontroller compares the voltage to its negative.

Any help is much appreciated!

That's one Heck of a rectifier just to monitor three phases!
As long as sufficient galvanic isolation between both supplies
you should be able to common up the negatives, I assume the 12v is rectified (DC)?
