How to reverse single phase motor direction

Single Phase Motor Direction Change
To reverse rotation on a single phase capacitor start motor, you will need to reverse the polarity of the starter winding. This will cause the magnetic field to change directions, and the motor will follow. In order to achieve this, you can swap the connections on either end of the winding. Always reverse the wires that lead to the starter winding.
Note that most motors, if still labelled with manufacturer instructions, will indicate that they are non-reversible. If this is the case, it's likely because the wires you would need to access are housed within the motor. If your unit has this warning, it's easiest not to proceed. If, however, your motor is reversible, you might notice that it provides instructions for reversal. Usually, these instructions will tell you which wires to change. For instance, some units might have you switch the red and green leads in the terminal box at the end of the casing. In other instances, the blue and yellow wires may need to be swapped. The colour of the wires is highly individual and depends upon the brand and model of motor you have. It's best to read the instructions provided by the manufacturer before proceeding.

That is extremely easy. Thanks. When I had an appliance business, the motors had a start switch that would control the power to the start winding. If a motor is like that, switch the two wires that go to the start winding from the neutral and the start switch. I would do this if a motor in a dryer was defective, and I had an extra motor from a junk dryer that turned the opposite direction.

Even thought wires are not same color, just focus on the capacitor terminals and use ohm meter to check which one is conect to Life wire (black) accordingly to given schematic in video. It is very helpful. Many thanks.

[@thepragmatic6383]

I wonder if using a 6-prong DPDT(double-pole, double-throw) switch could reverse the rotation of a 120V AC motor? This would allow the rotation of the motor to be changed with the flick of a switch.

[@bashirbabatunde7559]

This can only work efficiently if both the running winding and the start winding have the same resistance which is not mostly the case in motor, but rather interchange one of the two starting coil terminals.

[@ivanug5]

Much appreciation brother the video has been helpful sir but I honestly request you to take me through size the capacitors for single phase motors ie run and start capacitors thanks

Ok will plan on that.

Motor running forward, that's clockwise. Motor running backwards, that is anticlockwise. Good lesson though.

[@yusufadebayo348]

Good day, how many amps breaker should be used to protect 1kw motor from over current

[@YeshuaMuzic]

I think your breaker size will depend on how much current the motor draws. A 1kw motor running on 230V would draw about 4A. Therefore you need a breaker rated above 4A.

[@pcg1276]

It's not very clear, you have 2 flex cables belonging to the motor and a supply flex, what cores go where?

[@linossinkala7840]

Super super thankyou

[@electreca1]

Welcome

[@iotaaketioti2361]

how can you make a wiring to turn the motor forward and reverse direction without changing the wire from the motor

[@electreca1]

You can use FORWARD REVERSE STARTER. one contactor will have a forward direction connection and the other will have the reverse direction connection....you can watch this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHWslJuGqJaljLs

[@aarishcollection2437]

@@electreca1 what you said is its just for 3phase how can you swap capacitor wires don't understand it seems you did explain it well

[@mihrajmohamed2036]

This is only suitable for running and starting coils have the same resistance.

[@dantronics1682]

its a 2 phase motor so both coils are the same reactance

[@pjelectrcian8391]

Nice but before performing this practical make sure you measure coil resistance, both running and auxiliary winding resistance must be the same ohms value otherwise motor became overheat and for few time will burned out

[@electreca1]

Thanks for the tips!

[@pjelectrcian8391]

Ok

[@dantronics1682]

were you not suppose to discharge the capacitor before messing with it?

[@kondwanibotha8217]

Discharge it bro or give some time to let it discharge

[@faackthewef]

I tried this today on my 1.1kw pump motor and it runs but makes a loud noise . What could be the problem?

[@bollocknase]

Bearings maybe

[@faackthewef]

@@bollocknase It has new bearings and on clockwise rotation it runs smoothly.

[@bollocknase]

F Talks4U I’ve been looking into motors more, some starter windings has different resistant to run winding, so if it runs hotter it’s burning it out

[@skhan66]

That did not change the direction. It was doing cw before the wire change and is still cw after the wire change????

[@picasso1212]

Agreed…motor didn’t change direction, why are so many of you duped..?

[@davidfinn8049]

If u hve a different color for the motor

[@electreca1]

Different colour? The colour of the motor doesn't matter, principles are the same regardless of less The only question would be WHAT TYPE OF MOTOR YOU HAVE. Op that answers your question.

[@davidfinn8049]

Synchronous motor how will it be

[@musangobi2079]

Thought that capacitor is supposed to connected to axillary winding not the main winding

[@samuellourenco1050]

Depends. This is a split phase motor, which means that the coils are equal. There is no starting coil, as both are running coils. However, they are still 90º apart.

QUESTION ONE In class, we have discussed the star-delta method of starting, as well as the forward and reverse control of a three-phase induction motor. In this test, you are being asked to draw the power and control circuits of a combined (single) circuit of the above highlighted methods of controlling a three-phase induction motor (i.e. Star-Delta Forward and Reverse control). Conditions: i. When the isolator and triple pole MCB is switched on, the circuit can be energized. ii. When the forward start button is pressed, the motor runs in the forward star and the delta. i.e. contactor coil (M), timer coil (T1) contactor coil (Y) are energized instantly and the motor starts running in forward star and later contactor coil (Δ) is also energized. iii. After a preset time (say 40 seconds) the normally closed of T1 opens while the normally of T1 open closes resulting in the motor running in forward delta. iv. When the motor is running in forward direction, a blue indicator lamp comes on. The contactors C2 and M2 are interlocks for the forward and reverse operation while contacts Y1 and Δ1, are interlocks for the star-delta operations. v. When the stop push button is pressed or an overload takes place, the motor stops running and the blue indicator lamp goas off. vi. When the reverse start push button is pressed, the motor starts running in reverse star and later in delta. i.e. contactor coil (C), timer coil (T2), contactor coil (Y) and later contactor coil (Δ) are energized. vii. After a preset time (say 40 seconds) the normally closed of T2 opens while the normally of T2 open closes resulting in the motor running in reverse delta. viii. When the motor is running in reverse (star-delta), a yellow indicator lamp will be on. ix. When the overload trips or a stop push button in pressed, the motor stops running in the reverse direction. how do u go about this

[@anthonyrivera4797]

He is showing how to reverse the rotation on a single phase motor NOT a three phase motor. To reverse rotation on a 3 phase motor switch any 2 leads.
