Hello,

Are these the correcting windings for a 3-phase induction motor? Are the windings wrapped in the correct direction? I think they are, but I'm not sure.

I don't think the direction of the windings is important because you don't know the relationships of the three phase power feeding the motor. That's a common problem with a three phase motor-you won't know which way it spins until you hook it up. If its backwards switch any two leads.

I built and tested the above motor. The direction of the windings are indeed correct.
