I would be checking the windings. Sounds like one set is O/C.
Also check your Isolator does't have a Pole O/C as well!

Test the windings to earth using an insulation resistance tester. Test between each line to earth and expect quite high readings, over 1M ohm is acceptable but I wouldn't like to walk away from a motor knowing the motor is close to that. Then remove links and go between each line and test for resistance and make sure the windings are balanced.Just from a learning perspective, how do you test a motors windings? what results are you looking for?
There is 2 10mm cables coming down and are paralleled together.Probably got nothing to do with fault but would 10mm be ok with the starting current , if not you could parallel both cables
