How do you reverse the direction of an AC motor?

In a single phase induction motor, the direction is controlled by a starting capacitor. Change the pole on which it it placed will reverse the direction it starts and then runs in. For synchronous motors, a shading ring (often copper) is placed on one of the armatures - swap the ring location to the opposite armature..

How do you wire a single phase motor in reverse?

Once started, a single phase induction motor will happily run in either direction. To reverse it, we need to change the direction of the rotating magnetic field produced by the main and starter windings. And this can be accomplished by reversing the polarity of the starter winding.

How do you reverse a motor connection?

In order to reverse the direction of an AC motor, the magnetic fields must be altered to provoke movement in the opposite direction. Since each wire consists of a positive and negative current within the magnetic fields, the flip-flopping of main and starter wires causes the motor to run in reverse rotation.

How do you change the direction of rotation of a single phase motor?

Detailed Solution. The direction of rotation of a single-phase capacitor run induction motor is reversed by changing the direction of the rotating magnetic field produced by the main and starter winding or auxiliary winding. This can be accomplished by reversing the polarity of the starter or auxiliary winding.
