how old of a motor ? many older motors can not take the voltage spikes from vfds.
Where is the face palm emoticon? I had vfd in my head.... It has been one of those months....Considering that an RPC is an ALTERNATIVE TO a VFD for making 3 phase, maybe that was not a factor.......
In pic #1 at about 11 o'clock, there is a little white particle on the winding - what is it?, also there is a scrape mark on the rotor. Was there a bit of swarf rattling about?

Hmmm... my bet, is that it was probably compromised before you bought it... if not, I'll second JST's suggestion that the starting circuit didn't disengage properly. That's certainly smoked...
I wired it exactly how the instructions stated and there was no relays in the motor it was just 8 caps 4 start 4 run.
