Harman P68 direction of motor

[jbz]

Have looked through most of the threads and am trying to figure out the proper direction of the combustion motor. Got a replacement although both wires are black. It is a Gleason Avery unit.
Thanks for the help in advance.

They are AC motors does not matter which wire is plugged into which wire
will only run in one direction.

So just for curiosity what direction would that be. Always thought if you changed the coil input wire to the coil it would reverse the field.
I know you are correct, my AC skills are limited. I’m a DC guy, and three phase AC. Thanks for the help.

To tell you the truth I have no idea what direction a Harman fan turns
I guess I never needed to know. yes, you can change direction if you
disassemble the motor and rewire . My experience is with 12-volt
automobile motors and some work in solar thermal systems where
we used soft start variable speed DC pump motors

Open frame motors can be reversed like Johneh said 👍

Open frame motor you can turn the magnet/coil pk 180deg. To reverse diection
