Single phase motors can run either way,depending on how the starting circuit (capacitor start, split phase start, etc.) is wired.samieee said:I want to know that is the direction of a single phase or three phase ac induction motor is fixed and it is clockwise? ...or it may be both anti-clockwise and clockwise..or it can be both directional for single phase and only clockwise directional for 3 phase?...thanks
Yes and just switch two phases and it will run in the opposite direction.Three phase motors can run either way depending on how the 3 phases are connected to the motor.

Three phase motors can run either way depending on how the 3 phases are connected to the motor. I have seen vacuun pumps on large vacuum systems run backwards, because someone forgot how to wire up the motor phases.

The direction of rotation for an AC induction motor can be clockwise or counterclockwise, depending on the design of the motor.
You can determine the rotation direction of an AC induction motor by looking at the motor's nameplate or by conducting a simple rotation test with a voltmeter.
Yes, the rotation direction of an AC induction motor can be changed by swapping the connections of any two of the three motor leads.
The rotation direction of an AC induction motor is primarily determined by the design and construction of the motor, but can also be affected by external factors such as the direction of the power source or the type of load connected to the motor.
Yes, it is important to ensure that the rotation direction of an AC induction motor is correct for the intended application to avoid any potential safety hazards or damage to the motor.
