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.
Reverse any two line leads connected to the motor will reverse the directional rotation of the motor
Usually swapping the inlet and outlet connections will do this, depending on the design of the motor.
DC shunt motor can be reversed by changing the polarity of either the armature coil or the field coil.
Variable Frequency Drive
As long as it is an induction 110 volt motor it can be reversed; if it is any other type of motor it cannot be reversed. You will have to get into the windings to bring both leads to the start in order to make it go in reverse. <<>> A split phase induction motor has two sets of coils and a centrifugal start switch.

The direction of a singular phase induction ac motor can be reversed by switching the capacitor in relation with the motor windings. When started in the reverse direction, the motor will maintain the same torque level that it had in the forward direction.
standard direction of rotation of an induction motor is counterclockwise when looking from the front end i.e. non-driving end of the motor.
Cooling remains same irrespective of the motor rotational direction.
Reverse any two line leads connected to the motor will reverse the directional rotation of the motor
Interchanging the red and black leads in the motor's motor junction box will reverse the direction of rotation on the motor.
A motor does not have a forward or reverse direction like a vehicle. Electrical terminology is clockwise or counter clockwise rotation determined by looking from the opposite drive end of the shaft. That said, a split 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's directional rotation can be changed by reversing the connections of either the start winding or the run winding but not both.
A single phase induction motor is not self starting; thus, it is necessary to provide a starting circuit and associated start windings to give the initial rotation in a single phase induction motor. The normal running windings within such a motor can cause the rotor to turn in either direction, so the starting circuit determines the operating direction.
Usually swapping the inlet and outlet connections will do this, depending on the design of the motor.
To reverse the direction of current in a motor, the current conducting wires must be switched. By changing the configuration of the wires, the flow of current through the motor's coils can be reversed, thereby changing the direction of rotation of the motor.
Trick question: all motors do if you invert the polarity of input.CommentNot 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.
A three-phase induction motor can reverse direction of travel by swapping any two of the three input phases. This changes the rotating magnetic field direction, causing the motor to rotate in the opposite direction. No change to the input phase sequence is required.
