Original motor burnt up ,have this marathon, same rpm same hp. but it's running ccw. needs to run c.w. decal on motor says rot.cw. ope can i change the rotation?
Yes all you have to do is rewire the wire the motor there should be a diagram om the inside of the the motor panel... dont forget to unplug it first!
SOURCE: too change rotation of a 5hp 230 volt
HAVE A LOOK INSIDE THE MOTOR CONNECTION BOX. SOMETIMES ON THE LID ARE INSTRUCTIONS OF HOW TO DO THIS. YOU DID NOT SAY IF THIS WAS A CAPACITOR START UNIT OR NOT. IF THERE IS A CAPACITOR ON THERE IT COULD BE NO GOOD WHICH WILL MAKE THE MOTOR GO WHERE IT WANTS. A GOOD CAPACITOR KICKS IT IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION ON SWITCH ON.
SOURCE: wrong direction of rotation
swap any two leads L1 to L3 this will change rotation hope this helps a common color code is brown orange yellow in that order known as BOY at power feed you can change the wires at the disconnect load or motor side
SOURCE: I need to build a single phase to three phase
You will need a rotary converter for this, or a single phase motor. A three phase motor absolutely cannot be made to run on single phase otherwise.
SOURCE: I wish to rewire a single phase electric motor
The motor itself should have a sticker which describes the wiring for 115. It is a small change involving a single wire moving from one pole to another inside the motor starter cap (the bump on the motor itself).
SOURCE: converting 3 phase compressor to single phase
Start w/ a single phase motor. Or maybe your question is just confuseing me.
