Q. The direction of rotation of a capacitor-start motor can be reversed by :

A
Reversing the supply terminal connections
B
Reversing the connection of the auxiliary winding
C
Reversing the connection of both the main and auxiliary winding
D
Reversing the connection of either the main or the auxiliary winding
Solution:

To reverse rotation on a single phase capacitor start motor, you will need to reverse the polarity of the starter winding. This will cause the magnetic field to change directions, and the motor will follow. In order to achieve this, you can swap the connections on either end of the winding. Always reverse the wires that lead to the starter winding.
