How would you determine proper phase sequence using an oscilloscope. Please detail connections and procedure.

Hi,

Pick a phase as a reference and display on ch 1. Pick another & see if it leads/lags the reference.

Another quickie - if the motor runs the wrong way, just swap any two phases to correct.

Three phase systems operate on 120 degree angles. If you reference phase A with one o'scope probe, a second scope probe will show phase B lagging A by 120 degrees, and phase C should lag A by 240 degrees.
