Trick question: all motors do if you invert the polarity of input.

Comment

Not a trick question! In the case of d.c. motors, for example, you have to reverse the polarity to either the field or the armature -not to both. If you reverse it to both, it makes no difference to the direction of rotation! For a three-phase induction motor, you must interchange any two line conductors.

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.


What will happen if supply terminals of dc shunt motor interchange?

it will run in same direction because flux and armature current both will be changed wih plarity.


The function of a start winding in a split-phase motor is to?

a start winding on a motor is used to add torque to start a motor, and more importantly to establish the direction that the motor will turn. to reverse a motor normally means to reverse the start winding. the run winding will work the same in either direction, the start winding determines the direction.


Why rotor of a dc motor moves in the anticlockwise direction?

Positive and negative are reversed. It will run either direction depending on which way it is wired.


What is the difference between AC machine and DC machine?

ac machines can run only in one direction but dc machines can run in both the directions depending upon the direction of current flow into it. If we change polarity of input supply we can reverse the direction of motion of dc machineCommentThe above answer isn't altogether true, as it's very easy to change the direction of an AC machine. For example, to change the direction of rotation of a three-phase induction motor, the motor controller interchanges two of the three line conductors.The main difference used to be that the speed of DC machines is easier to control, but that is a thing of the past thanks to developments in electronic motor controllers.

How do you run a motor in both directions?

It depends on the type of motor. An electrical motor can be run in both directions simply by changing the polarity of the electricity being used to power the motor. A combustion motor (like in a car) would have to be built specificly to run in both directions. Most combustion motors are designed to run in one direction and changing that direction would require changing the firing pattern of the cylinders and updating the timing mechanism to account for the motor spinning the other way. Plus, the device being powered by the motor would have to support bring powered in either direction.

How can you reverse the direction of rotation in an induction motor?

A single phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch. The start winding is in series with the start switch. The start winding provides a rotating magnetic field in one direction enabling the motor to start. The motor can be reversed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.

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?
