The direction of rotation of a motor is primarily determined by the direction of the current flowing through its windings and the arrangement of the magnetic fields. In DC motors, reversing the polarity of the voltage applied to the motor changes the current direction, thus reversing rotation. In AC motors, the phase sequence of the supply voltage influences the direction of the rotating magnetic field, which in turn dictates the motor's rotation. Additionally, the physical configuration of the motor, such as the winding connections, can also affect its rotational direction.
Usually swapping the inlet and outlet connections will do this, depending on the design of the motor.
To check the motor rotation, first ensure the motor is powered off for safety. Then, manually rotate the motor shaft to feel for any resistance or unusual noises, indicating potential issues. If the motor is powered on, observe the direction of the shaft's rotation, verifying it matches the intended direction specified in the motor's documentation. Additionally, using a tachometer can help measure the RPM and confirm proper operation.
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.
Variable Frequency Drive
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.
standard direction of rotation of an induction motor is counterclockwise when looking from the front end i.e. non-driving end of the motor.
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.
Interchanging the red and black leads in the motor's motor junction box will reverse the direction of rotation on 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
Change the polarity of either the field coils or the armature, not both and you will reverse rotation.
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.
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.
Variable Frequency Drive
The magnet is the stator part of the motor,either as a permanent or an electromagnet.It doldrums the rotor past of the motor towards it causing the rotation.
