7.7 Checking direction of rotation
The machine is designed for a clockwise phase sequence.
Ideally, the direction of phase rotation should be measured with a phase sequence meter.
Alternatively, the machine can be started very briefly and the rotation direction of the motor cooling
fans noted.
1. Check the direction of phase rotation with a phase sequence meter.
2. If the direction is incorrect, reverse supply phases L1 and L2.
You have no phase sequence meter?
➤ Switch the machine on and off again the moment the drive motor begins to turn.
➤ Compare the direction of rotation of the motor with the arrows on the motor and the airend
casing.
➤ If the direction is incorrect, reverse supply phases L1 and L2.
