The two windings are in parallel with each other. Some motors have a capacitor placed between the two windings. Other connections find a switch between the two windings. When the motor gets up to speed, the switch opens and the start winding is taken out of the circuit and the motor runs on the run winding.
Single-phase motors - These motors are commonly fractional-horsepower types, though integral sizes are generally available to 10 hp. The most common single phase motor types are shaded pole, split phase, capacitorstart, and permanent split capacitor.Figure 5 - Rings in shaded-pole motor distort alternating field sufficiently to cause rotation.Figure 6 - Split-phase windings in a twopole motor. Starting winding and running winding are 90 ° apart.Figure 7 - Split-phase start induction motor.
Just swapping the hot and neutral connections on a plain and simple single phase ac motor (one which was not designed to be reversible) is usually a waste of time as the voltage is alternating and the motor sees this as the same either way and it will still run in the same direction.For a DC motor which uses a permanent magnet to provide its magnetic field, simply switch the two power leads to make them run in the reverse direction.For a DC motor which has a wound field winding instead of a permanent magnet you have to reverse the connections either to the field winding or to the armature. (If you reverse the connections to both the field winding and the armature the direction won't change!)For a three phase motor simply switch any two of the three power leads to make it reverse.Another opinionTo change the direction in a single phase ac electric motor you must find a way to reverse the connections to the field magnet (outer windings) or to the armature or rotor (which is the center part that spins). Some motors are reversible and the run direction can be changed simply by swapping the 2 plugs sticking out of them that are connected to the field windings.All single phase ac motors can be reversed by physically reversing the field magnet or rotor ( front of motor is now the back) although this can be more difficult in motors with brushes because of the brush holder which is mounted at the front and usually has to stay in the front.Changing motor rotationA 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.
A person can find out motor winding, common start, and run connections through the use of operational manuals that came with a vehicle. Another source would be a repair manual specifically written for a certain make and year of automobile.
Normally there are six terminals (two terminals per winding in 3 phase system) for a motor. If you find 12 terminals, you need to read the motor name details or specifications to get more info. The motor could be with two different sets of winding (double speed motor)
Only if you want to damage it. "277" Volt 3-phase will usually mean 277 from each phase to neutral, and 480 from phase to phase. By "230 3-phase", you likely mean 120 phase-to-neutral, and 208 phase-to-phase. If you really mean 230, then you are probably NOT talking about a three phase motor.
You will need to install a phase converter or change the motor to single phase. You can find a licensed electrician at www.contraxtor.com
The motor cannot be altered to work on single phase power. You will either have to put in a new single phase motor or use a phase convertor box. Do a google search for phase convertor - you will find plenty.
1)may be voltmeter or clipon meter will be connected across the winding. 2)or in motor winding we must find amp current and aramture resistance nd then find the ratings 3)formula is rated kva of motor*1000/base kva for transmission line.
apply 3 phase voltage(415V) to the winding whose magnetising current is to be found and open circuit another winding. now measure current using tong tester or connecting an ammeter in series between supply and winding.
One And a Half Horse Power Obviously.
If your three phase motor runs backward, you have two phases swapped. double check a, b and c phase to find which ones are misplaced.
