SUMMARY
Reverse rotation in a three-phase motor can be caused by incorrect phase termination and a blown fuse in one of the phases, resulting in the motor operating as a two-phase motor. These issues are quick fixes that do not require internal motor repairs. Proper identification of these causes is essential for effective troubleshooting and ensuring correct motor operation.
