Hello. I want to reverse the rotation of an AC motor from an old air compressor. It is a 240v single phase AC motor. Here is a diagram of what I believe the wiring to be:
**broken link removed**
The heavier wires go to one end of the motor and the other two pairs of wires to the other end. The latter two pairs are labelled U1/U2 and Z1/Z2 respectively. I put a multimeter on all three pairs - all <5 ohms. L = live, N = neutral. Earth is grounded to motor chassis. The squares represent the 4 terminals.
Can anyone help me? I know very little about AC motors and I need to know where to put the L in order to reverse the rotation (assuming it is that simple...).
Thanks,
