Application Notes
FWD-STOP-REV switch
Use a three-pole, three-position switch with a single speed
adjust potentiometer to coast to a stop between reversals
(Figure 11). Set the switch to the center position to decelerate
the motor to a stop. The switch contacts should be rated at a
minimum of 250 volts and 150% to 200% of motor nameplate
current.
Wait for the motor to come to a stop before switching to either
the forward or reverse direction. This will prevent high
armature currents from damaging the motor or drive.
