By what means is the rotation of a three-phase induction motor reversed?

Question 1 of 27070

By what means is the rotation of a three-phase induction motor reversed?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Three-phase induction motor direction of rotation and phase sequence • Effect of interchanging phase leads vs disconnecting leads • Difference between stator (AC) connections and shunt field (DC) connections

💭 Think About

• What happens to the rotating magnetic field in a three-phase motor when you change the order of the phases feeding the stator? • If you disconnect one or more stator leads, will the motor still develop proper rotating torque, or will it behave abnormally? • Is a shunt field coil usually associated with AC induction motors or DC motors? How does that affect which options are plausible?

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which options would allow the motor to keep running normally but in the opposite direction • Eliminate any option that would remove necessary phases and prevent correct three-phase operation • Verify which answer choice describes changing the phase sequence rather than simply cutting power or referring to DC motor parts
