was this brand new equipment? what type of condenser?
If the common and the run wires were switched on a single phase compressor would this burn out the windings? We had one supposedly came right from the factory like this and supposedly burned out on start up. my installer said to me it ran for 5 Min. I have to go out and see myself but Trane says there is no way it left the factory like that.

Find it hard to believe it ran for 5 minutes.
I've been on the Trane factory tour in Tyler, and I find it hard to believe that it would have left the factory like that, but hey, anything is possible.
Evacuation, charging and run testing are all part of the same simiautomated process, just before the unit goes in a leak detection chamber, then on to packaging.
I've never miswired a motor that bad, but from my experience cleaning up after DIY repair attempts, I've come to the conclusion that swapping common and run is a really good way to burn up a motor.
