This may be hard to describe, but I've just about exhausted all options.

I have a PSC motor, 240v, exactly like the first picture attached.

Stock, it spins clockwise, and I would like a switch that can change it to counter clockwise, etc.

With my project, i am only using 1 speed(red, lowest).

I have not been able to find any instructions on how to do this with this kind of motor, only with 3/4 wire psc motors. My motor however has designated leads for the capactor, so, once all is hooked up, Im left with 3 thay remain: Red, Green, White.

Does anybody have knowledge of how I should go about this?
Thanks
-Sam


P.s. It IS a reversible motor!

I think you need to get deeper into the connections to the winding so you can reverse the connections to the winding that is in series with the capacitor.

You only use one of the three at a time. If it does have a small starting winding, would it be possible to rotate the motor mounting 180 degrees? Just an idea. Good luck.
