Best Answer

Most newer universal replacement motors are capable of rotating either direction, depending on how they are wired. With these type motors, usually designated as CW/CCW (clockwise/counterclockwise) it is simply a case of switching the position of the power supply wires that connect to the motor terminals. If the motor does not specify that it is reversible, it can't be done. If you have the motor make and model number, you should be able to tell by looking it up online or contacting the manufacturer. ---------The above information is incorrect. Yes, most motors ARE reversible, though none I have ever seen are done through the power leads as these are AC voltage motors and not DC, which is polarity particular and would spin the opposite direction. Either the motor is reversible or not. If it is, it will have 4 extra wires coming out, (besides the two for the power and the one or two for the capacitor connection), (short wires), that you can reverse the way they're plugged into each other. Some have a single reversible plug, others have 2 pairs of wires which you reverse. If it's not reversible, either return the motor or get another fan blade.

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.


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 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.
