Abstract :
The possibility of reversing single-phase squirrel cage induction motors simply by reversing the supply voltage at the terminals of the motor with a reversing switch has been investigated through experiments performed by the author and was found feasible. A very strong reversing torque was produced by reversing the voltage when the stator magnetizing current was near its maximum peak value. The motor was found to stop and reverse within 10 to 12 cycles.
