Motor testing dead short with Fluke 1507

[Isaiah]

What would cause a 460v 3 ph induction motor to register dead short other than motor insulation failure? Motor is new

Are you measuring phase-to-phase or phase-to-frame?

Internal insulation failure, a foreign object (e.g. nail through the windings), or one of the leads touching the junction box.
