A motor does not have a forward or reverse direction like a vehicle. Electrical terminology is clockwise or counter clockwise rotation determined by looking from the opposite drive end of the shaft.

That said, 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's directional rotation can be changed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.

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.


How is direction of rotation for single phase induction motor determined?

A single phase induction motor is not self starting; thus, it is necessary to provide a starting circuit and associated start windings to give the initial rotation in a single phase induction motor. The normal running windings within such a motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.

What is the function of a capacitor in an induction motor?

It provides the phase shift necessary to have a rotating magnetic field for the rotor to spin. Answer #2: single phase induction motor can create pulsating magnetic field. due to single phase forward and backward torque created also they cancel led each other.so we want to extra force to rotate rotor either forward or reverse direction or we can give rotating magnetic field by using capacitor(phase split)

How single-phase induction motor classified?

The single phase induction motors are made self starting by providing an additional flux by some additional means. Now depending upon these additional means the single phase induction motors are classified as: 1.Split phase induction motor. 2.Capacitor start inductor motor. 3.Capacitor start capacitor run induction motor. 4. Shaded pole induction motor.


How do you start single phase induction motor?

capacitive start motors start by themselves however a normal single phase induction motor requires a starter motor to 'kick-start' the motor into action.
