Why does the rotation of the motor reversed when change the polarity across the main winding coil?

When changing the auxilary face winding connection the current flow in the winding is changed so that the rotating emf direction is changed . Thats why the motor rotates in opposite direction.


What happens if the direction of current at the terminals of a series motor is reversed?

No changes will occur by wiring a 110 volt motor in reverse polarity, rotation will always be the same. Some single phase motors are designed to be reversed ,but that is a function of the relationship of start windings and capacitors and requires some wiring changes in a motor junction box or an end terminal housing, not by just changing the incoming power.


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.


What happens when a starter motor rotates at a high speed?

it burns


Why 3 phase motor rotate in opposite direction?

You would reverse rotation on a 3 phase motor to get it to run backwards. Say I fill up a tank truck from a lake. I turn on my generator. I run the motor in one direction. Then I drive the tank truck and the motor to a different location. Then I turn on my generator. I attach the hose to the motor on tank truck. I throw the switch to make the motor run backwards. I aim the hose at the fire in your house. Aren't you glad that I can make my 3 phase motor run backwards?

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.


A palindrome for a part of a motor that turns or rotates?

A palindrome for a part of a motor that turns or rotates is a rotor.

How do you make a 30HP three phase motor connection?

From the bottom of the motor contactor's heater block you connect the motor's leads to T1, T2 and T3. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction reverse any two leads on the bottom of the motor's contactor heater block.


How fan is prepared?

fan generally works on an electric motor. When electricity is passed through the coil in the motor the axle rotates. In a fan the axle is attached to the main body which has blades aerodynamically designed to generate an action creating wind. Direction of current through the motor decides the direction of rotation of theales.

Why ceiling fan rotates in anticlockwise direction but table fan rotates in clockwise direction?

Ceiling fans usually can rotate in either direction. There is usually a switch on the unit. This allows downflow during the warm season and upflow during the winter. The direction of rotation of a table fan is determined by the shape of the blades. A motor can be made to run in either direction but to force air to the front of the table fan, it must rotate in the direction that the blades will force the air properly.


Why fan rotating clockvise?

A fan motor rotates in the direction dictated by the type of blade it is using to move air in the desired direction. Both CW and CCW blades are used to do the same thing(move air in a particular direction). It simply depends on which type of blade one has in order to accomplish this and whichever blade you have will determine the direction of rotation of the motor driving it.

To form the magnetic field that rotates the motor. :)
