How does forward and reverse motor control work?

A forward/reverse magnetic motor starter is constructed from two regular contactors installed with a mechanical interlock that prevents both coils from pulling in simultaneously. They are connected so that under normal conditions, one coil will connect L1 with T1, L2 with T2, and L3 with T3.

How do you make a motor go forward and reverse?

Your DC motor can be configured to turn in either direction by simply inverting the polarity of the applied voltage. The change in the flow of current switches the direction of the spinning force, causing the motor's shaft to begin turning in the opposite direction.

How do you connect a forward and reverse contactor?

When the forward contactor is energized, power contacts connect line L1 to T1, line L2 to T2 and line L3 to T3 at the motor. When the reverse contactor is energized, the power contacts connect line L1 to T3, line L2 to T2 and line L3 to T1 at the motor.
