In some cases yes, but it depends on the motor's application (use). For example, the electric motor in a batery-operated toy car will turn backwards if you reverse the polarity. Other more complex motors won't work at all, or can be damaged if you reverse the polarity. it is an AC motor that runs the Wattmeter, it is all about the direction of current flow to make the meter run backwards you would need to swap the incoming active and the incoming neutral with the outgoing active and the outgoing neutral, thereby reversing the meter. reversing the Active and Neutral does nothing because they already are swapping between themselves at 50 times a second or 60 depending on your location. Also if you put more current into your supply than is being draw by it then the meter will also spin backwards. eg: overdriving it with a generator.

Reversed polarity is when?

In a normal distribution system, one wire is always connected to earth. Reverse polarity occurs when the live and neutral conductors on a system become reversed or 'swapped over'. It's a very dangerous situation with serious safety implications.


If you wire a plug in reverse by mistke with the hot lead on the thick side of the polarized plug will it cause a problem?

Yes it can. The plug and socket are polarized to be sure that the hot and neutral are not reversed.
