Yes, the rotation of a shaded pole motor can be reversed. It is advisable to only attempt this on a small motor and if you have general mechanical and electrical knowledge. The simple and direct explanation is one has to flip the stator. To do this the motor must be disassembled to a point at which the rotor can be removed. Once removed, turn it end over end and reinstall. Done. Note that the bearing housing ends will likely have to be switched as well.

There is no way to reverse the direction of rotation of the shaft of a single phase shaded pole motor. The construction method used to make them uses a shorted-out pole winding embedded into the rotor of the motor. This means they are simply not designed to be operated running in any way other than in a forwards direction. This is fine for use in electric clocks, etc.

Will an ac motor run backwards if polarity is reversed at the outlet?

No, unless it is a three phase motor and you reverse only two of the phases.


What would cause an electric motor to run backwards?

Motors running backwards: A DC motor wired backwards or magnetic field reversed. A 3 phase AC motor with 2 phases reversed A single phase motor will run either way unless it is 'persuaded' by means of a shaded pole or other method to rotate in a particular direction.


What happens if the direction of current at the terminals of a series motor is reversed?

No changes will occur by wiring a 110 volt motor in reverse polarity, rotation will always be the same. Some single phase motors are designed to be reversed ,but that is a function of the relationship of start windings and capacitors and requires some wiring changes in a motor junction box or an end terminal housing, not by just changing the incoming power.


How do you reverse the rotation of a 110 volt motor?

As long as it is an induction 110 volt motor it can be reversed; if it is any other type of motor it cannot be reversed. You will have to get into the windings to bring both leads to the start in order to make it go in reverse. <<>> A split phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor can be reversed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.
