746 Watts = 1 HP

Yours is probably 3/4 HP, 'cos they ain't 100% efficient.

BTW, in Derbyshire, it's not ' Half Horsepower'  the correct term is 'Afe 'Oss'

Ask Dave Stilldrillin

A few motors can be reversed by 'end to ending' the rotor.
Some cap. run & split phase. I think all 3ph can, but not sure.
(Many 1 ph. cannot because the start switch centrifugal whatnot will be at the wrong end).
The accepted way is to change wiring.

50 yrs since I did Rotating Machine Theory at Tech. Was 16/17 and spent too much time studying 'Tit 'n ass'. etc
This being a rather more enticing occupation than listening to the Instructor droning on about 'tan theta' etc. etc.
