Reversing Contactors
Our reversing contactor combines two standard magnetic contactors with a tough mechanical interlock. This setup is built for direct-reverse operations, plugging, and switching power sources. If you want to reverse the rotation of a motor, you’ll need to adjust its polarity. Here’s the hardware required for that.
Description
Main Features
- 6 Poles – gives you full control for motor direction change
- Mechanical interlock – stops accidental short circuits
- Current rating: 9A to 150A in AC3 (that covers 4 to 75 kilowatt motors)
- Comes with 2NO + 2NC auxiliary contacts ready to use
- Many add-on accessories are available
- Different AC coil voltage options
- Wide coil operation range

FAQs
What is a reversing contactor?
A reversing contactor is a special device. It uses two magnetic contactors and a mechanical interlock. This setup safely reverses the direction of an electric motor. It works by changing the polarity of the connections.
What is the difference between reversing and non-reversing contactors?
A non-reversing contactor is used to start and stop a motor that only goes one way. A reversing contractor has some extra components, such as an interlock and another contactor. These extras allow the motor to change direction.
What are the three types of contactors?
Contractors can differ, but they usually fit into a few types based on their triggers. The most common type for motors is the magnetic contactor. You have manual contactors and ones made for specific tasks, like HVAC or refrigeration systems.
