To avoid the effect of Phase Cancellation, as pictured below: This happens when you record with multiple microphones and their phases are cancelling each other. You should use it when visually you notice that one signal is cancelling the other, inverting one of the channels should solve the issue.

What does it mean to invert the phase?
Phase inversion is the swapping of the two poles of an alternating current source. ... Phase inversion may occur with a random or periodic, symmetrical or non-symmetrical waveform, although it is usually produced by the inversion of a symmetrical periodic signal, resulting in a change in sign.
What does a phase reverse switch do?
What Is Phase Reverse? The phase reverse button essentially flips the waveform on its head. The positive oscillations are now negative and vice/versa. This is a quick and easy way to check the phase of your mics and often a simple solution to a phase problem.
Why do we invert polarity?
Because of the different distances of the microphones, all of the incoming signal's timing will be a little off with each other. Soloing your tracks and engaging/ disengaging the polarity inversion button could potentially allow you to get the biggest, fullest sound out of your sound source.
