Reversing of one phase motor

Reversing of one phase motor

Reversing of one phase motor

(OP)
Hi!

Have any ideas how to make reverse of rotation of one phase motor, which have two windings - one for acceleration (only for start), and second one - for work? I think it is connected with windings.

Thanks in advance!

RE: Reversing of one phase motor

Hi wiks,
First winding is "main winding" and the second is "auxiliary winding". Auxiliary winding is only for start-up. If you reverse the current flow of only one winding (main or auxiliary), the rotation is reversed.

RE: Reversing of one phase motor

Suggestion: The single phase motors and some DC motors have a very similar reversal of direction of rotation, namely, the way it is posted in the previous posting in majority of cases.

RE: Reversing of one phase motor

there are 2 windings - a start winding and a running winding.the start winding has the higher resistance of the two.it normally has a capacitor in series with it.
if the ends of both windings are accessible, then the reversal of one of the windings will change the direction of the motor.
i must add, however, that 4 coil ends are not always visible in the termination box.

RE: Reversing of one phase motor

One winding is "main winding" and the other is "starting winding". starting winding is only for start-up. If you want to reverse the direction of motor so only one winding (main or starting), change terminals only one winding both of them starting & running/main so now the rotation is reversed.
