What is Reverse-forward Starter

Reverse-forward Starter

Reverse-forward starter used in motor control. This type of starter is commonly used to control the direction of three-phase induction motors.

Reverse-Forward Starter Working Principle:

A reverse-forward starter consists of two contactors-one for forward rotation and another for reverse rotation-along with overload protection and interlocking mechanisms.

Basic Components:

1. Two contactors (Forward & Reverse)

2. Overload relay (for motor protection)

3. Push buttons (Start & Stop)

4. Interlocking mechanism (Electrical & Mechanical)

5. Power supply & wiring

How It Works:

Forward Rotation: The forward contactor

energizes, connecting the three-phase supply in its normal sequence (R-Y-B).

Reverse Rotation: The reverse contactor swaps

two phases (e.g., R and Y), changing the motor's rotation.

Interlocking: Prevents both contactors from being energized simultaneously, avoiding a short circuit.
