Experiment 3
2- Theory
To change the direction a three phase induction machine rotation, two of its phases needs to be
exchanged, thus changing the phase sequence form, say ABC to CBA.
This can be accomplished by using two contactors, one for the forward or CW rotation and one for
the reverse or CCW rotation.
The forward and reverse contactors are mechanically interlocked i.e., if one of them is closed the
other cannot close. This is done to avoid dead short circuit in case both the contactors closing
simultaneously.
Also electrical interlocking could be provided using the contactors control contacts.
