So does it mean that had it been there was no short winding the motor couldn't burn although with high resistance? if so what are the effects of such higher resistance?

I wonder where I work, 3-phase ind. motor with 80 ohms resistance per phase from the manufacturer was re winded and the new resistance per phase was 89 / 90 / 94 Ohms in the 3 phases. when the motor was put back, it burnt within few hour, why was this?
