Default 3 phase rotation direction?

Who makes an inexpensive tester that I can plug
into 208 V 3 phase L14-30 outlets to determine
phase rotation?

I'm aware of this circuit but I want something
I can buy at the Borg and leave at a worksite:

You won't find one at the Borg, since they don't carry anything three
phase. You will find them at most any real electrical supply house for
~$100 or so. The good thing is that those phase rotation meters usually
also include motor test functionality so you can identify the leads from
an unpowered three phase motor as long as you can manually turn it more
than half a turn.


It helps to know the proper nomenclature.
Good info. Thanks!
