Hi all,
I have a question reguarding reverse polarity! Does it have a detrimental effect on the current circuit?
For example, if you put a different branded battery in a makita radio and it worked fine but you had to turn the battery upside down for it to fit, would this harm the radio as the...

I give my electricity readings to British Gas...

how would I work out the size of capacitor I need to reverse a single phase motor.
Not sure of the size etc as not been out to see it yet all I know is the customer has a fan they want to reverse its in a machine so don't think a fan controller would suit.
Apologies for intruding on your website - I am NOT an electician!! I would like some advice - a couple of weeks ago a MeterPlus employee came to fit a new meter in my house - he spotted a fault - said it was reverse polarity - the whole house was affected & told me to get an electrician to sort...
