While seaching for information on whether there are standards used by the electric motor industry for reversing the rotation of single phase fractional HP motors (eg: designated wire terminal numbers or color codes for the start and run windings wires.... which I think are in many (but not all)...
Hi All,
Thank you all for your comments. You've given me a lot to consider. This particular project is a 'hobby' type effort for the moment; however, I'll probably find a good use for the motor in my workshop when I'm satisfied it will work well. I'm leaning toward replacing the bearings as...
