Spindle direction

Hi! I have 800w watercooled spindle with vfd, when i test it, it rotates counterclockwise on forward mode. Is this right or the forward mode should be clockwise rotation? How can i correct it?

My DW660 rotates clockwise. I expect there’s an “invert” rotation setting somewhere in the VFD or spindle documentation.

All the instructions I’ve seen for vfds say to swap any 2 of the three power wires.
I’d say don’t listen to me, but at least that might give you some good search terms.

That is true for any brushless motor, I think. I don’t know anything about VFD though.

Guess I should point out I mean the power wires FROM the vfd TO the motor.

Which wire to interchange?

What I’ve read with regards to brushless motors is “swap any two” and the way the phases interact it will reverse the direction.
