Reversing a split-phase or capacitor motor is done by

  • A.interchanging the two supply leads to the machine
  • B.reversing the connections to both windings together
  • C.increasing the capacitance of the starting capacitor by a substantial factor
  • D.interchanging the connections to the auxiliary winding

Answer: D

Correct answer: interchanging the connections to the auxiliary winding

The direction is decided by whether the auxiliary current leads or lags the main current, so reversing the auxiliary connections reverses the phase relation and with it the rotation. Swapping the supply leads reverses both windings together and changes nothing, which is why a single-phase machine does not reverse the way a three-phase one does.
