Forward – Reverse Motor Control
(Immediate Reversal)
Starting the motor and operating it in the forward direction is initiated by closing the forward
pushbutton. This action energizes the forward contactor (F), which in turn closes the main contacts to the
motor terminals, thus starting the motor in the forward direction. The same action that closes the normally
open contact of the pushbutton also opens its normally closed contact. This temporary open circuit prevents
an unwanted start in the reverse direction. As the forward contactor operates, it causes its auxiliary contacts
to operate also. The normally open auxiliary forward contact (Fa) closes to seal in the forward coil circuit, and
the normally closed auxiliary forward contact (Fb) opens to block the reverse contactor coil circuit. To reverse
the direction of the motor (without first pushing the stop pushbutton), simply push the reverse pushbutton.
The opening of the normally closed contact of the reverse pushbutton causes the coil circuit for the forward
contactor (F) to momentarily open. The circuit for the reverse contactor coil (R) circuit momentarily closes.
When the forward contactor opens, it operates its auxiliary contacts (Fa , Fb). Fa opens to keep the forward
(F) coil circuit open, while Fb closes to allow the reverse coil (R) circuit to energize.
When the reverse contactor picks up, it closes its main contacts to the motor terminals, which in this
case causes lines L1 and L3 to be interchanged, reversing the direction of the motor. Auxiliary contacts Ra and
Rb operate in unison with the reverse contactor. The normally open Ra contact closes to seal in the reverse
coil circuit, while the normally closed Rb contact opens to block the energizing of the forward coil circuit.

VIII. CONCLUSION:
(Discuss how a Forward-Reverse with immediate reversal function by referring to your design diagram)
For starters, this activity is called Forward Reverse Motor Control (Immediate Reverse), this motor
control is slightly different than the previous because it is the immediate reverse. In addition, this motor
diagram doesn't need to press the stop push for changing the rotation of the motor. In this diagram, there are
2 Magnetic contactors that we will use as interlocking and will control the forward and reverse operation of
the motor. This motor control also has a Jog Push button for inching forward and reverse operation of the
motor. To operate this, we should know that there are two types of a circuit in this motor control, which are
• MODULE 4
the power circuit and the control circuit. Power Circuit, this circuit is where the energy coming from the power
source comes that will help to energize the whole circuit. Next is the control circuit, this circuit is where you
will control the motor by operating the contactor on and off.
To start the operation of this motor control, we need to turn on the disconnecting switch, Motor
circuit protection, and control circuit protection to energize the power and control circuit. After energizing, we
will now focus on accomplishing the objectives. Since the power and control circuit are energized the idle
signal lamp will light up, which states that the motor is in idle condition. In terms of electrical supply, I switched
the connection of lines 2 and 3 so that the first MCC is for forwarding and the second is for reverse rotation.
Going on to the control circuit, we have an emergency stop push button, a Stop push button, a double contact
push-button for immediate reversal, and jog push buttons.
Forward and reverse starters will include two sets of normally open auxiliary contacts that will serve
as holding contacts in both directions. They will also have two sets of normally closed contacts that will serve
as interlockings. To energize the motor, first, we need to push the start push-button for forwarding rotation,
since it has holding contacts it will latch, thus it will continuously provide energy to the motor. IN addition to
that, the forward button is connected to the Normally close contactor of the second MCC for interlocking, so
that when the button is pressed it will prevent the other coil from being energized. Since this is an immediate
reversal motor control, we do not need to press the stop push button before reversing. Hence, we will press
the reverse button immediately for reverse rotation of the motor it also has Holding contacts which act to
continuously supply the motor in reverse operation, this button is connected to the Normally close contact of
forwarding interlockings.
ELECTRICAL WORKSHOP 2
When the forward motor contactor is energized the Green Indicator light should light up, on the other hand
when if the reverse is operating Blue Indicator light should light up. Next, since we used the control relay, the
jog push button is connected to relay coils so once we pushed the jog push button the normally open relay
coil will close and the normally closed relay coil that is series connected to the start push button. It will
immediately power the motor and will be de-energized when released. As a result, when the jog is pushed,
the motor is instantaneously powered up and de-energized when released.

Furthermore, we may encounter unexpected problems when operating the motor like overheating,
overcurrent, and short circuits. That's why our motor has a protection component to protect the motor and
other parts from damage, and we call this Thermal overload relay. Once the motor tripped, the T.O.L will act
and the signal lamp for the trip condition will light up. Moreover, once the motor control tripped we can just
reset it and the idle signal lamp must light up. Lastly, we may stop the motor from running by pushing the stop
push button, and again the idle lamp should light up. However, if the stop pushbutton does not work or if
there is an issue, we may de-energize the motor by pressing the emergency stop button.
IX. EVALUATION:
1. Why is “immediate reversal” motor circuit applicable only for controlling small motors?
Based on my understanding, once our motor is energized it rotates at a high speed and it depends on its
horsepower. So, when a large type of motor is energized and immediately changes its rotation, it will cause
damage to the motor because it can't handle the load of immediate reversal/forward. That's why this kind of
motor control is only applicable to a small type of motor such as dc motors because this type of motor can
handle the load and has the least horsepower compared to larger motors. Furthermore, this type of small
motor can decelerate at the same speed when accelerating, so it can handle the stress of acceleration as well
as reverse without stopping.
ELECTRICAL WORKSHOP 2
2. What application this small motors are mostly used.
We can apply this type of motor, in small toy cards such as remote-controlled cars. Moreover, since this is
a small motor it is designed for small packaging and processing machines. In addition to that, we can also
integrate this kind of motor into small devices such as small fans, mixers, or devices that need to change their
rotation and speed.
