Yes. With enough of a load on a motor the rotation can be stopped. As the motor starts to slow down the current draw of the motor starts to go higher. Usually what will happen is as the current goes higher the overload protection on the motor's starter will trip and disconnect the electrical supply from the motor long before the motor stops turning.
Reversing polarity is not possible with an ac motor. Some do have wiring that will allow you to change rotation. The type and model of the motor can tell you if it is reversible.
The magnetism set up in the motor, attracts opposite poles. One pole is in the rotor and the the other on the stator. The attraction causes the rotor to turn. If allowed to continue, the pole will get as close as possible and then stop. The motor will stall. On a brushed, DC motor, the commutator acts as a switch and turns off the nearest coils and connects the next one along, allowing continuous rotation. On an AC motor, the supply is changing direction, this acts in synchronization with the rotation.
The direction of the motor is dependent on the way the stator coils are wound.
Crawling refers to a condition wherein there is a slow rotation of the rotor caused due to the presence of harmonic content in the supply.
Interchanging the red and black leads in the motor's motor junction box will reverse the direction of rotation on the motor.
The phase rotation of motor should be always done from motor side i.e The motor terminal box.
Similar to DC permanent magnet motor (which I'm assuming you understand); except the stator is not a permanent magnet but an electromagnet. There are 2 separate coils on the stator, which are connected in series with the brushes and armature: supply ----- stator segment --- brush - armature - brush --- stator segment ----- return Since the stator coil segments are wired in series with the armature, reversing the supply will *not* change the direction of rotation; as both magnetic fields will reverse together. (But a reversing switch affecting only the armature *will* reverse the rotation.) And since the motor will always turn in the same direction independent of the supply polarity, this means it will work equally well from DC or AC; and the supply frequency will not affect the rotation speed.
Possible Faulty wire or even a starter or alternator failure.
A synchronous motor aways runs at the synchronous speed, which is the supply frequency divided by the number of pairs of poles in the motor. For a 4-pole motor the speed is 1500 rpm (50 Hz supply) or 1800 rpm (60 Hz supply). The mechanical phase of the rotor is liable to be a little unstable under changing load conditions.
standard direction of rotation of an induction motor is counterclockwise when looking from the front end i.e. non-driving end of the motor.
Motor speed is a term we often use to speak to the rotational speed of a motor. And often we talk about the speed of rotation in revolutions per minute, or RPM.
DC shunt motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of either the armature coil or the field coil.
