Best Answer

A series DC motor can be thought of as having two components, the rotor and the stator. The rotor has windings which rotate and the stator's windings stay stationary. In a series DC motor these windings are connected in series. To make the motor turn backwards you must reverse the current through either the rotor or stator windings, but not both.

Yes, single phase AC motors are normally reversed by changing (reversing ) the 'polarity' of the start winding. In the absence of the start winding, most if not all, single phase induction motors will happily run in either direction, once given a push to get moving. The start winding determines the initial direction of rotation.

Single phase motors have to be designed to change directions and usually have the directions on them to do so, some are set for one direction only. Three phase motors can be changed by swapping any two leads on the incoming power.

Just interchange any of two phases at motor input with each other, direction of three phase induction motor will change automatically no need to do anything else..

by changing the polarity

of capacitor direction of rotation could be change

How do you change a direction of a motor?

DC motor: Switch your leads. AC single phase motor: Direction cannot be changed. The motor will run the same direction regardless of how your leads are terminated. AC 3 phase motor: Switch any two leads.


What is the difference between AC machine and DC machine?

ac machines can run only in one direction but dc machines can run in both the directions depending upon the direction of current flow into it. If we change polarity of input supply we can reverse the direction of motion of dc machineCommentThe above answer isn't altogether true, as it's very easy to change the direction of an AC machine. For example, to change the direction of rotation of a three-phase induction motor, the motor controller interchanges two of the three line conductors.The main difference used to be that the speed of DC machines is easier to control, but that is a thing of the past thanks to developments in electronic motor controllers.


Reverse direction of singlr phase ac induction motor?

The direction of a singular phase induction ac motor can be reversed by switching the capacitor in relation with the motor windings. When started in the reverse direction, the motor will maintain the same torque level that it had in the forward direction.


Can you change the direction of a 110v electric motor?

The answer to that question is entirely dependent on the motor. Many motors have an access plate where the power feeds into the motor. Removing that plate often reveals a wiring diagram that shows how to change the wiring to reverse the motor direction. But most AC electric motors do not provide the option of reversing direction.

What is the function of a split ring commutator?

The split rings cause the direction of the magnetic field in the armature to change direction as the motor rotates. If this didn't happen the motor would not rotate. Slip rings can be used for an AC motor which causes the direction of the magnetic field to change with the AC waveform.


How do you change an ac motor to a DC motor?

Ac motor have slip ring, to remove the slip ring,connected to the commutator its a dc motor.

How do appliances work if AC reverses direction?

AC current alternates polarity back-and-forth continually, by definition. Therefore, it is not possible to reverse AC direction. It is DC current that is directional such that when it's polarity is reversed the motor responds by turning in the opposite direction.
