How to reverse a single phase motor?
Understand the Problem
The question is asking how to change the direction of rotation of a single phase motor. This typically involves altering the connections of the motor's windings or modifying the control circuit.
Answer
Reverse the polarity of the start winding by swapping Z1 and Z2.
To reverse a single phase motor, reverse the polarity of the start winding by swapping the connections Z1 and Z2.
Answer for screen readers
To reverse a single phase motor, reverse the polarity of the start winding by swapping the connections Z1 and Z2.
More Information
Single phase motors can have their direction reversed by altering the start winding connections, which changes the phase relationship of the windings and reverses the torque direction.
Tips
Ensure to power off the motor and discharge capacitors before working on connections to avoid electric shock.
