It is a single-phase motor. Any single-phase motor can be run from a 3-phase supply of the proper voltage. Just connect it to any two phases. Are you sure that you connected capacitors of the proper microfarad value to the proper terminals? Are the capacitors rated for motor-start and motor run duty?
The diagram below shows what I think are the internal winding and starting switch connections. C2 must be the starting capacitor. It is not shown to be connected to the power connections, therefore it must be connected to an internal component that disconnects it after the motor reaches full speed after the power is switched on. Since the stating capacitor has a high capacitance, it allows a high current in the start winding. It is designed to carry the high current for only a about second or two. If it remains connected, it and the start winding will overheat and fail. C2, the start capacitor, should be the 250 uF capacitor and C1, the run capacitor, should be the 50 uF capacitor.
The reversing links change the polarity of the start winding with respect to the run winding. The connection diagram should show the links in only one position, not both at the same time. The motor must have the direction selection changed only when it is unpowered and not turning.
Yes, driving a 3 phases motor is a non-trivial problem, but there is way to make it simpler.
The basics and defining what we want to do
First, have a look a this wikipedia article and try to get a picture of why you have 3 phases. Your goals is to create a rotating magnetic field, and that will happen if your 3 phases are shifted from 120 degrees. You should see that on your EMF as well.
Now I would like to determine the input waveforms to all three phases such that the signal across these same two wires corresponds to the back-emf waveform above.
The waveform will be 3 sinusoids shifted from 120 degrees. The real problem is knowing in what direction you want your magnetic field.
As far as I understand, the maximum efficiency is achieved when back-emf waveform is precisely in phase with supplied waveform.
I am not so sure this statement holds. I'd say : Maximum torque per amps is obtained when magnetic field is 90 degrees with respoect with to the rotor field. Efficiency is a function of torque and speed (and motor performances). To make the motor turns, you need torque. If you create a magnetic field that is in phase with the rotor field (0 degrees), you get no torque and waste energy in the winding resistance.
At this point, we have defined what we want. 3 sinusoids shifted from 120 degrees, with a total phase such that the magnetic field is 90 degree from the rotor field. Now the real problem is determining this angle which depends on the position of the rotor.
Controlling the field vector
Let's say you know what angle you want. Your rotor is at say, 38 degrees, you want maximum torque, so you will have to define a vector with an angle of 128 degrees. The amplitude of that vector will control the amount of torque you ask. For the sake of the example, let's say you want a current vector of 1A.
Since your controller can output a voltage, you would need to make a close loop system that regulates the current to get that 1A. I assume you don't have current sensors, then we will control the voltage and the current will be whatever it will be. The motor will still turn, be we won't know the amount of torque we give precisely.
Assuming we do voltage control, we can make our previous current vector a voltage vector. \$\vec{v}=1V\angle128^{\circ}\$
How do we converts that voltage vector into 3 voltage? The answer is the Reverse Clark Transform The Clark Transform will converts your 3-axis system into a 2-axis system. Instead of working with \$V_a\$, \$V_b\$, \$V_c\$, you will work with \$V_\alpha\$ and \$V_\beta\$. These 2 voltages represents vector components on a 2D planes. The reverse Clark Transform obviously converts \$V_\alpha\$ and \$V_\beta\$ back to \$V_a\$, \$V_b\$, \$V_c\$
The rest of the work only matters of simple vector calculation.
For \$\vec{v}=1V\angle128^{\circ}\$
$$ V_\alpha = 1V*cos(128^{\circ})$$
$$ V_\beta = 1V*sin(128^{\circ})$$
Then apply the inverse Clark Transform and find \$V_a\$, \$V_b\$, \$V_c\$
Knowing the rotor angle
Our last problem is to deduce the position of the rotor. It is indeed related to the EMF. If you apply the Clark transform on the EMF, you will find its angle in the \$\alpha \beta\$ plan. But you can't read that input, instead you have hall effect sensors that output a digital signal that is high when the EMF is positive and low when the EMF is negative. I see that as 3 square waves shifted from 120 degrees. You can apply the Clark transform to these 3 square waves, what you will obtain is a vector with a resolution of 60 degrees. Instead of a smooth rotational movement, you will have a vector that do 60 degrees steps.
You then have everything you need to control your motor
Summary
The way of doing is then as follow:
- Read your Hall Effect Sensors
- Apply Clark Transform and find the angle of the rotor
- Define a command vector that is shifted from 90 degrees
- Apply the inverse clark transform
- Output voltage on three lines.
Make it easier with FOC
There is a way to make your control even more simple by doing FOC (Field Oriented Control). Even though the Wikipedia article seems complex, the idea is quite simple. Using the Park Transform, you shift your axis \$\alpha\$ and \$\beta\$ so that they align with your rotor. That will yields a new voltage/current vector with two components \$I_d\$ and \$I_q\$ where \$I_d\$ is parralel to the rotor and \$I_q\$ is perpendicular to the rotor. All you have to do then is set \$I_d = 0\$ and control the torque with \$I_q\$.
With FOC, step 3 above becomes:
- Apply Park Transform
- Set \$I_d = 0, I_d = 1V\$
- Apply Inverse Park transform
There is this very nice video from Texas Instrument that covers the subject of FOC very well. You will pretty much find everything you wan to know in the first half of it. I strongly suggest you watch it.
Good luck!

Your motor is 750 Watt and can be wired to work on 220v and 380V.
It is likely that the wiring diagram for the motor shown below is applicable to your motor. This is a lower rated wattage unit.
The gearbox output is 40.5 RPM - about 1.5 seconds per rev.
Torque reading appears to be 145 Nm = 145 Newton metre or about 14.5 kg.m
Sanity check: Watts = RPM x torque in kg.m.
So torque in kg.m = Watts/RPM
= 750/40.5 = 18.5 kg.m =~ 182 Nm = about right.
14.5 kg.m will exert a "force" of 14.5 kg at a radius of 1 metre or 29 kg at 500 mm radius. That is very very ample for rotating a balanced BBQ pig of any sensible size.
It is not too strong per se but will tear your arm off if you insist if you allow it to exert force at small radius.
Say 15 kg at 1 metre, 150 kg at 100 mm. 750 kg at 20mm radius. Do not try and arm wrestle with it!!!
The material below found here appears to relate to a Koncar motor of about half the current rating.
Connection as shown is for 220V (I think) with alternative for 380 V (2 phase I think) shown on the connection plate. Testing resistance between the two input leads when in each arrangement should give a guide as to which is which - or if you can read Yugoslav.
