What is the Difference between a Contactor and Reversing Contactor and How do They Work?

[@tabletavina4615]

im learning a lot from this channel, love the way she explains it very clear and precise, no unnessesary talk thanks

[@JulesBartow]

Great intro to contactor reversing kits.

[@janetsterno]

I always like the candy bar Galco sends in the box with the product. Galco is much better than most others!

[@GalcoIndustrial]

Thanks!

[@nickhess5327]

Thank you this was a great video.

[@subramanian6857]

I love this channel thank u

[@nemojac]

very nice,any idea how to wire up a three phase motor operating Ridder type screw 1-10 ratio worm gear running contentiously back and forward through a limit switch and on timer?,nice informative presentation,

[@ryanwilson3049]

Thank you for this!

[@walyaldeenabdallah7679]

I'm thankful for you

[@erickjuma6211]

can you please show us how to connect a contractor to automatic change over switch for a generator. .?

[@nawazmatloobmuhal366]

you are great i learn lot things from you thank you

[@kiflayzenebe2215]

Thanks for explaining.

[@edmondchampagne1199]

awesome video thank you

[@youssefmamouun7713]

Can you make a video explaining how the mechanical interlock works in a more practical way??

[@kyngdavid6246]

do i need to Stop the motor first with the same switch that i start it with in order to use the other switch to do the reverse

[@TheRemotejon]

+Keyoke Andson This is wired to only run the motor when the buttons are held down. Allow motor to stop before running it the other way :)

[@davesoutdooradventures5523]

+Keyoke Andson it is good practice to let the motor stop first, reversing it while in motion can cause the reduction of the motors life and overloading the circuit protection, if not more serious problems.

Nice, good video

[@AdnanAlkalali]

very help full Chanel thanks

[@محمدالبصري-ض7ب]

Very nice explanation

[@tonymaraj1564]

How do you wire a 3 phase motor to a single phase .

[@Froggability]

Use an inverter or VFD designed for that purpose

[@Froggability]

Should have included an electrical interlock as well.

[@niggisgaming1637]

Thx i learn too much

[@abdulqadir150]

I like it

[@youssefmamouun7713]

Nice

[@marnieorioque341]

base on your demonstration you have only stop and start push button...how do you operate in reverse or forward the motor if only stop and start push button switch that you will use?its better to use a 3pole selector switch or stop,reverse,forward push button,to control the motor in forward reverse operation and to stop the motor manually.

I am in africa thuns for teaching yuo are profisional

[@GalcoIndustrial]

You are welcome, glad you liked it.

[@YazidSG]

Is this a star connection? I thought there should be at least 3 contactors to run a motor, main with overload, star and delta?Hmm..

[@GalcoIndustrial]

This video is for a single winding motor showing how to start it and how to reverse it using contactors. This video does not address the star-delta motor configuration. You are correct, for the star-delta configuration you need 3 contactors. The star-delta configuration would be used for either a two-speed motor or for a star start - delta run motor.

[@ashfaqali2681]

nice

[@ابومحمد-ذ8ك2ن]

هvery good

[@5822huron]

I use to build these at Siemens

[@GalcoIndustrial]

Cool

[@andreaschristodoulou4274]

Actually there is not any difference on contactors, the difference its on the wiring setup

[@mardiasultanamoni6060]

gd job

[@bacjaz6741]

so theres no wire connection to the interlock

[@GalcoIndustrial]

No, this is a mechanical interlock only. However many installations will use both a mechanical and electrical interlock for double protection against energizing both contactors at the same time. With no interlock protection and both the contactors energized at same time it would put a short across the line and trip the supply breaker or blow fuses, NOT a desirable scenario, ok?
