What is forward and reverse starter?

A forward and reverse starter is an electrical control system used to manage the direction of a three-phase motor. It allows the motor to run in both forward and reverse directions by switching the phase sequence supplied to the motor. Typically, it consists of contactors and relays that control the supply of power, ensuring safe operation and preventing damage. This type of starter is commonly used in applications like conveyors, cranes, and other machinery requiring directional control.
