Three phase motors only have only one or two speeds. This is done by the coils that are situated around the stator of the motor. When these individual coil ends are brought out of the stator and into the motor's junction box they can be connected in a manor as to what speed and direction you want the armature to turn.

What are the main parts of three phase motor?
Wire, bearings, rotor and stator.
How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed to a three phase power supply lead numbers not specified?
There are many types of winding on a two speed three phase motor. The number of wires from the motor should have been stated. This is a guess that the motor is a six lead. The diagram is for a six lead out two speed, one winding, single voltage constant horsepower motor.See sources and related link below
Disadvantages of 3 phase induction motor?
One of the disadvantages of the 3 phase induction motor is that it requires a three wire supply. The other disadvantage is that the 3 phase induction motors have poor starting torque and high have in the rush currents.
How do you reverse a three phase air conditioning unit?
Any three phase motor can be reversed in rotation by inter changing any two of the motor's incoming feed conductors. For example connect the motor winding wires to L1, L2, L3 and the rotor turns clockwise in rotation. Connect the same motor to L3, L2, L1 or L2, L1, L3 or L1, L3, L2 and the rotor turns counter clockwise. As you can see any combination of the two wires will reverse the rotors rotation.
What is phase fail protection?
In a 3 phase power system, say for a 3 phase motor - it is necessary to have all three phases intact to be able to run the motor efficiently, safely. If any one phase fails , the motor still continues to run but the temperature raises rapidly, due to high current. The motor winding can burn out, can trip off due to overload. Hence a device called phase failure relay is connected. It constantly reads all the 3 phases and cuts off the main supply in case any one phase fails.
You switched leads on your 3phase motor and it did not reverse?
Then it is not a three phase motor.
How do you wire a three phase motor if none of the wires are idetified?
If it is a three lead 3-phase motor, it is easy: connect the incoming three leads randomly to the three leads on the motor (one to one) so that there are a total of three splices. The motor will run but possibly in reverse If it runs in reverse, switch any two of the three splices ---- If the motor has more than three leads, and they are not marked, it is much more difficult. You will have to have a working knowledge of how to test the leads and compare the results with the information given on the nameplate
Reverse motor for phase three?
If you mean to reverse the direction of a three phase motor, you just switch any 2 leads. switch 1 and 2, or 2 and 3, or 3 and 1.
Can you simply change two leads on a three phase motor and make it run backwards with no damage to the motor?
yes. that's how they work!
Why does your 3 phase compressor run backwards some times?
a three phase motor is reversed by switching 2 of the 3 power leads (any two) something is switching the power leads on you
Can you run a 3 phase motor from 240 volts socket or would a change of motor be required?
yes . A change of motor would be required. The motor windings would have to be totally different. three hot leads instead of two. And three phase would have to come from your provider.
How do you change rotation on a Century AC motor?
There are two alternate methods depending on whether the motor is single phase or three phase. On a single phase motor, reverse either the start winding coil lead or the run winding coil lead but not both. This action will reverse the motor's rotation. On a three phase motor, interchanging any two of the three coil leads will reverse the motor's rotation.
How do you use a one phase motor in place of a three phase motor?
To use a single/one phase motor instead of a three phase motor is possible if you have a three phase power supply as you will only need to tap one of the three phases together with neutral and an earthwire, however to use a three phase motor instead of a single phase will require the provision of three phase power supply.
How do you make a 30HP three phase motor connection?
From the bottom of the motor contactor's heater block you connect the motor's leads to T1, T2 and T3. If the motor rotates in the wrong direction reverse any two leads on the bottom of the motor's contactor heater block.
What circuit you can use to run three phase motor?
It must be a three phase supply service to run a three phase motor.
How do you start a three phase motor to a single phase power supply?
You don't. A three phase motor will not start unless it is connected to a three phase supply.
How many volts should be across each line on a 3 phase motor?
Three phase means just that- three phases in the windings of the motor. Therefore three leads (outputs) are used to supply power. A lot depends on the number of wires coming out of the motor. In large industrial motors, you can have 9 leads. The wiring of the motor depends on the application- the motor will either be wired in series (leads 1-4-7, 2-5-8 & 3-6-9 combination) or parallel (4-7, 5-8 & 6-9 with the first three leads connected separate).To change the direction of the output shaft, simply reverse any two of the three leads.
