Every third coil belongs to the same phase. For each phase you need to reverse alternate coils as they are under opposite poles .
The finish of the first coil goes to the finish of next one, then the start of that goes to the start of the next one and so on.
You also have to watch which ends you use for the three phases.
If you call the first coil phase a, second coil phase b and third coil phase c, ( which is the easiest way to do it), the phase displacement is only 60 degrees so to correct this you need to cross the start and finish leads of the middle phase.
Sorry this is confusing in words, but I don't have any diagrams.[ Parent ]

You have 8 magnets and 24 coils, and generally a 4:3 ratio is used i.e. 12 magnets / 9 coils. See the articles on the front page about Dan's big machines. They are all wired 3 phase.
Hope this helps
