Answer / tpfasil200

Direction of rotation of synchronous motor is determined b y its starting direction,as initiated by inducyion motor action. Thus, to reverse the direction of a 3 phase synchronous motor, it is necessary to first stop the motor and then reverse the phase sequence of the 3 phase connections at the stator. REVERSING THE CURRENT TO FIELD WINDINGS WILL NOT AFFECT THE DIRECTION OF ROTATION

Answer / tpfasil200

Direction of rotation of dc motor can be reversed in 2 ways
1.reversing current through armature and interpole windings(if they exist)
2.reversing current through field windings,ie,through shunt and/or series winding..but not through interpole windings(if they exist)
Reversing current through the armature is preferred because reversing current through the field windings involves breaking and making highly inductive currents of the field windings.Also field reversal of compound motors requires connections of both shunt and series windings to be changed..
