An often asked question – How do we make a 3 phase motor rotate in the opposite direction?
In this video we will look at how to do this with direct on line motors, or DOL motors. We will look first at the method of changing connections at the motor block where a fixed rotation direction is required. Then we will consider two different types of drum switches that will allow the customer to change rotation themselves.
We will show examples of how to connect these to the motor itself and where to put the live phase inputs in the switch. We also consider the link settings for star and delta motor configurations as this sometimes causes a little confusion.
By following the guidance in this video you will quickly understand what is required, what needs to be done and the correct and most efficient ways to install a 3 phase motor changeover switch.
This is knowledge that can be applied to many different situations that you will come across in your career. Understand the basics and your acquired knowledge will guide you through even the most complex situations.
