Motor rotation is essentially created by the manipulation of wires and magnetic fields. Thus, you can often reverse AC motors by switching the wire connections. This is as easy as unhooking and re-crimping the designated wires.

You can determine shaft end perspective by simply holding your motor up in front of you and pointing the shaft at you. If the shaft is pointing at you and rotates to the right, your motor is clockwise shaft end, or CWSE. If the shaft rotates to the left, your motor is counterclockwise shaft end, or CCWSE.

Electric motors are designed either for clockwise rotation, or counter-clockwise, or both. This is very simple. The IEC standard says that the direction of rotation is always viewed from the driven end side, where the load is.

Description. CCW / LE or CCWLE. Counter clockwise from the lead end. CCWSE. Counter clockwise from the shaft end.

The direction of rotation of motor is determined by Fleming’s left hand rule…

Most vehicles have the standard rotation, counterclockwise. Only a few vehicles, such as early Hondas and the American-made Chevrolet Corvair flat-six, had reverse rotation, or right-hand spin in a clockwise direction. If you want to determine the turning direction of an engine, there are a few things to look for.

In order to reverse the direction of an AC motor, the magnetic fields must be altered to provoke movement in the opposite direction. Since each wire consists of a positive and negative current within the magnetic fields, the flip-flopping of main and starter wires causes the motor to run in reverse rotation.

Short for counterclockwise, CCW is the rotation or movement of an object that’s the opposite direction of the hands movement on a clock. For instance, when removing or loosening a screw, you would rotate the screwdriver to the left.

Clockwise motion (abbreviated CW) proceeds in the same direction as a clock’s hands: from the top to the right, then down and then to the left, and back up to the top. The opposite sense of rotation or revolution is (in Commonwealth English) anticlockwise (ACW) or (in North American English) counterclockwise (CCW).

Commutator will surely tell that given motor is DC motor and not an AC type.

EXPLANATION: Fleming’s left hand is used to find the direction of force or motion acting on the moving coil in the DC motor.

In many applications the equipment driven by the electric motor will not work properly unless the motor drive shaft spins in a pre-determined direction: clockwise or counter-clockwise .

Engine rotation is determined from looking from the back of the motor facing forward away from the flywheel. If your engine won’t turn over you can look at the distributor wires. The rotor turns to the right find #1 cylinder and follow each wire to each cylinder.

Using a phase rotation meter. A phase rotation meter,through the use of its six terminal leads,compares the phase rotation of two different 3-phase connections.

Engine, or crankshaft rotation, is the direction the engine spins: either clockwise or counterclockwise. Most vehicles have the standard rotation, counterclockwise.
