Forward Reverse Motor Control Wiring Template

Start with an editable reversing motor circuit containing forward and reverse contactors, seal-in contacts, overload protection, and interlocks.

What the template contains

• Forward and reverse contactors
• Mechanical and electrical interlocks
• Forward, reverse, and stop pushbuttons
• Shared overload relay
• Three-phase motor

Best used for

• Conveyors, doors, hoists, and mechanisms requiring direction control
• Explaining phase reversal and interlocking
• Generating an editable control-panel project baseline

Checks before issue

• Never allow both direction contactors to close together.
• Consider coast-down, plugging, and mechanical travel limits for the real machine.
• Verify phase sequence, protective-device coordination, and contactor utilization category.

Engineering boundary

Machine safety, braking, limit switches, and safe stop behavior depend on the application and are not established by this starter template.

Open this template in the editor. Confirm the electrical design, ratings, terminals, protection, and applicable standards before construction.
