Phase Order to motor
Phase Order to motor
(OP)
If I connect wires to a motor and the order is
L3 wire goes to L1 motor connection
L1 wire goes to L2 motor connection
L2 wire goes to L3 motor connection
will the motor run backwards? Instead of providing 123, I am providing power skewed at 231. The phases are still in sequential order.
Thanks for your help.

RE: Phase Order to motor
If the motor is not uniderection designed( the motor must run in one direction due to the fan only blows air in that direction) you can connect the motor random, runs and note rotation direction. (L1-T1, L2-T2, L3-T3)If the Rotation direction is not the desired then change two of the Phases.(L1-T1, L2-T3, L3-T2)
L is power and T is motor lead
If is a unidirectional fun you most determine the power phase sequence and connect like name plate sayds.

If a motor has ben rewound there are no guarantees of rotation unless the rewinder has been told to get it right.

1-2-3 = 1 followed by 2, followed by 3, then what? 1, followed by 2, followed by 3, followed by 1, followed by 2, followed by 3 ad nauseum, right?
2-3-1 = 2, followed by 3, followed by 1, followed by 2, followed by 3, followed by one ad nauseum.
See the pattern here?
