AC Gear Motor Forward & Reverse Wiring Diagram: 3-Wire Connection Guide


H1: AC Gear Motor Forward & Reverse Wiring Diagram: 3-Wire Connection Guide

H2: Understanding the 3-Wire Motor Connection

This AC gear motor features three lead wires: Yellow, Blue, and White. Correct wiring is critical for safe operation and to prevent permanent damage. The Blue and White wires must always connect to the capacitor, while the Yellow wire connects to the power supply.

H3: Step-by-Step Forward Wiring

  1. Connect the Yellow wire directly to one side of the AC power line.

  2. Connect the White wire to the capacitor.

  3. Connect the Blue wire to the other terminal of the capacitor.

  4. Connect the White wire + capacitor wire to the other side of the AC power line.

Result: The motor rotates in the forward direction.

  1. Connect the Yellow wire directly to one side of the AC power line.

  2. Connect the Blue wire to the capacitor.

  3. Connect the White wire to the other terminal of the capacitor.

  4. Connect the Blue wire + capacitor wire to the other side of the AC power line.

Result: The motor rotates in the reverse direction.
