How do you reverse and forward a single phase motor?
Once started, a single phase induction motor will happily run in either direction. To reverse it, we need to change the direction of the rotating magnetic field produced by the main and starter windings. And this can be accomplished by reversing the polarity of the starter winding.
How does forward 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 connect forward reverse?
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.
