Most newer universal replacement motors are capable of rotating either direction, depending on how they are wired. With these type motors, usually designated as CW/CCW (clockwise/counterclockwise) it is simply a case of switching the position of the power supply wires that connect to the motor terminals. If the motor does not specify that it is reversible, it can't be done. If you have the motor make and model number, you should be able to tell by looking it up online or contacting the manufacturer. ---------The above information is incorrect. Yes, most motors ARE reversible, though none I have ever seen are done through the power leads as these are AC voltage motors and not DC, which is polarity particular and would spin the opposite direction. Either the motor is reversible or not. If it is, it will have 4 extra wires coming out, (besides the two for the power and the one or two for the capacitor connection), (short wires), that you can reverse the way they're plugged into each other. Some have a single reversible plug, others have 2 pairs of wires which you reverse. If it's not reversible, either return the motor or get another fan blade.

Which device is used to change the rotation of a motor in washing machine?

A device called a motor capacitor is used to change the rotation direction of a motor in a washing machine. By changing the connection of the capacitor, the motor's direction can be reversed to rotate in the opposite direction.

How do you change a direction of a motor?

DC motor: Switch your leads. AC single phase motor: Direction cannot be changed. The motor will run the same direction regardless of how your leads are terminated. AC 3 phase motor: Switch any two leads.


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.

How can you rotate the dc series motor in both direction?

in any dc machine changing the polarity of the field will change its direction. here, in series motor, the field is in series with the armature, to which we feed the supply. hence, change the feeding polarity.

What would cause a 12 volt motor to change polairity?

A reversal of polarity in a 12-volt motor can occur if the wiring connections are switched or if a DPDT (double pole, double throw) switch is used to change the direction of current flow through the motor. It can also happen if a control circuit such as an H-bridge is used to control the motor direction.


How can you make the object change direction?

To make an object change direction, you can apply a force in the opposite direction to its current motion. This force can be applied using mechanisms like a motor, thrusters, or steering mechanisms depending on the type of object. By adjusting the magnitude and direction of the force applied, you can control the object's change in direction.
