On a single phase 120v motor wouldn’t you have to swap with start capacitor as flopping line and neutral would do nothing?

That may explain why DP/DT reversing switch in some ceiling fans are tied to the capacitors.

ZE-209-22 is used to reverse fan direction for summer and winter. Compatible with many ceiling fans (universal) . Eligible for free shipping.

On older fans, yes. But everybody is going to dc motors because they are quieter.

Neat, good to know, thanks!
