Our local phase rotation is A-B-C. There are many systems that have rotation A-C-B as well. both are correct.

When changing phase rotation of a 3 phase motor is this done at the switchboard?

The phase rotation of motor should be always done from motor side i.e The motor terminal box.


How do you check proper rotation on emergency generator without phase rotation meter?

Use a small three phase motor to see if it rotates in the same direction as connected to the mains.


Why is correct equipment important in three phase?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hertz supply service.In commercial and industrial installations it is important to have the whole building phased correctly. Usually these types of businesses are three phase. Three phase motors that have plugs on them for quick swapping in case of a break down can be connected anywhere in the plant and still have the correct rotation. Also if the business has a stand by generator it also has to be correctly phased with the plant so as not to reverse three phase equipment when the generator starts. Phase sequence from left to right is A, B, C.I'm not an electrician but i do know that in some motors if any of the positive wires are swapped from there correct place the motor will run backwards (in the wrong direction) it is important to know the correct sequence.


How do you change rotation on a Century AC motor?

There are two alternate methods depending on whether the motor is single phase or three phase. On a single phase motor, reverse either the start winding coil lead or the run winding coil lead but not both. This action will reverse the motor's rotation. On a three phase motor, interchanging any two of the three coil leads will reverse the motor's rotation.


What would be the 3 phase voltage on a frequency of 50 Hz?

Single phase and three phase voltages are not related to the frequency at which the voltage is generated. The frequency at which voltages are generated is governed by the speed of rotation of the generating device.

What equipment is used to check phase rotation?

A phase rotation meter. Or a small three phase motor can be wired up and its rotation observed.


What is a phase rotation indicator?

A device which measures phase rotation in all areas where three phase supplies are used to feed motors, drives and electrical systems. The rotary field indicator can provide clear indication of the 3 phase via an LCD display and the phase rotation direction to determine correct connections. It allows rapid determination of phase sequence and has frequency range suitable for commercial and industrial applications. The included test probes have a variable clamping range for safe contact, also in industrial sockets.

What is the probability of wiring a three phase motor rotation right the first time?

Since it can only rotate two directions, the chance is 50%. There are rotation indicators you can buy to check the phase sequence.


What is meant by phase sequence in a polyphase system?

It is the colour coding of the wires from left to right when connections are made to terminals. In Canada it is Red, Black, Blue. By using this standard every connection in the poly-phase (3 phase) system will be the same. Once a motor is phase rotated and marked with the appropriate colours it can be reconnected any where else in the system and run with the correct rotation.
