    Not sure about on a single phase motor but with three phase they are just the standard terms used for them.

    Line 1 U (Red)
    Line 2 V (Yellow)
    Line 3 W (Blue)

    If used correctly from the power station down to the motor maker then the motor rotation will be correct every time it is wired in.

    universal compressor cover for a single phase compressor and a 3 phase compressor

    Uvw are the designations for the windings in a three phase motor, this compressor maker probably uses the same shell for single phase or three phase
