Best Answer

A rocker arm holds a carbon brush. In other words it is a carbon brush holder. Changing over the rocker arm connections is the same as changing over the armature connections and will make a DC motor turn in the reverse direction assuming that the magnetic orientation of the motor's field stays the same.

More detail

DC motor having a field winding

If the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are changed over at the same time as the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.

If the stator's field is created by a field winding and that winding's connections are not changed over at the same time as the the armature's connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.

DC Motor having a field created by a permanent magnet

If the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is reversed at the same time that the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor's direction of rotation will be the same as before.

If the stator's magnetic field is created by a permanent magnet and the orientation of that magnet is not reversed at the same time as the armature connections are changed over, then the DC motor will turn in the reverse direction.

How do you reverse the rotation of shunt motor?

Reverse the armature connections or the field connections, but not both.


If you can Chang winding 50hz to 60hz?

If you have the motor rewound you could possibly have it changed. You can run some 50 hz motors on a 60 hz system but there are no guarantees. The motor will run faster and there is a chance it will overheat. There is no way to change the field connections of a motor to accomplish this. Best bet is to just purchase the correct motor.

How can find out the terminal sequence of a three phase induction motor?

If you are concern about the rotation of the 3 phase motor, all you have to do is connect the power to the three terminal wires, make sure connections are tight, insulate one of the connections properly, the other two just put enough wrap insulation to prevent shortening of the power phases. Bump the motor, that is start it and quickly shut the power of, this way you can check for rotation, if motor is turning in the proper direction, proceed with a thorough insulation of the remaining two connections. If the motor is not turning in the proper direction, switch the connections that were no thoroughly taped, bump motor again it should have changed direction, proceed with taping up the connections.If there is a chance of damaging equipment connected to the motor by bumping it or a panel that has multiply motors connected to it there is a phase sequence meter that can be used to check proper phase sequence. On three phase service rebuilds this meter works great. Get the phasing right at the CDP and all or the motors that are connected to it will be in the right rotation.See related links below
