A switch that reverses the direction of the current in a motor is called a forward reverse drum switch. It is a single phase motor that turns from clockwise to counter clockwise.

What component of a motor changes the induced AC voltage into a pulsating DC?

The commutator is the moving part of the electrical switch in motors that reverses the current direction between the rotor and the external circuit. This is applicable in electrical motors and electrical generators.


What is the role of split rings in electric motors?

Split rings keep the current flowing in the same direction or the motor turning in the same direction when using alternating current which reverses direction in its cycle..

How many current sensing devices are required by the National Electrical Code to protect a single-phase motor operated on 240 volts?

For a single phase fractional horsepower motor, only one over current device is needed in the motor feeder. This protection can come in the form of a switch which has the overload heater incorporated into it. These switches come in single and double pole configurations. Select the heater for the motors full load current that is taken from the motors nameplate. Search the web for "fractional motor starter switch".

Can you switch motors on a 1985 quad to a 1988?

You can not swtich the motors out in a 1985 Quad and a 1988 Quad. The reason you can not swtich the two motors is because they are not comatable with each model.

What is the type of switch that reverses the rotation of a single phase motor?

If you are talking about a switch that is used to change the direction that a single phase motor turns from clockwise to counter clockwise, the switch is called a forward - reverse drum switch. By reversing any two of the three phase legs that feed the 3 phase motor. <<>> On a single phase motor a drum switch is used. This switch reverses the start winding so that when voltage is applied to the motor it will revolve in the reverse direction.
