Full‑voltage reversing starters provide across‑the‑line motor starting in both forward and reverse directions. These assemblies use two mechanically and electrically interlocked contactors to ensure safe directional control while preventing simultaneous energization. Control Innovations supplies full‑voltage reversing starters designed for dependable operation and straightforward field integration.
A full‑voltage reversing starter provides across‑the‑line motor starting with the ability to run the motor in either forward or reverse rotation. The design uses interlocked contactors to ensure safe directional switching and reliable operation.
