Reversing Polarity with two relays

I saw a motorized tent trailer winch using two relays to reverse polarity. This is how it’s wired

If you can’t wire a relay without the numbers check out my other videos to learn how they work

Just wanted to say thanks. This is the 12th video I've clicked on. And watched it twice. And was able to wire up my actuators. Appreciate it the knowledge

[SamariumNickel]

thank you, I have a momentary rotary switch thats two independent NO switches underneath. I had expected it be similar to a rocker switch but it doesn't work that way. Seems like I can use two relays to reverse a DC motor with this method. appreciate the video

Awesome walkthrough. I was looking for a reversing polarity switch diagram - and your YouTube video came up on Google result page: only thing that would've made it better is an actual drawn out wiring diagram/pin out... As I had to zoom in to see your pins. But overall, sweet job 👍

I love this that you had the wires already organized(with the terminal pins) before connecting them to the relay - makes it visually so much clearer to see the simplicity of how it is really connected - question - what if you want to add a diode here? would it be correct to have one for each relay? - Many Thanks for your response !

Good Sir I want this connection Thanks

I wish you showed a wiring diagram for this.
Is that a DPDT switch in white? What is its rating in amps and voltage?
What relays are you using?
What is the voltage and amps of the winch?
I have 130 VDC 25 amp treadmill motor that I’d like to control with a rotating selector switch but it’s not rated for the volts or amps. Could this be possible using relays?
Thanks,
Paul

Hi Mik Master

I am working on wiring in a motor into my car in the exact same way you have. The motor controls a small valve which opens and closes my exhaust. I purchased a genuine switch that fits in my car perfectly. It is a momentary switch which rocks upwards and downwards and then returns to centre. However it only has 2 connectors and not three connectors how you have demonstrated.

Is there any way at all to make this work? (I apologise if this is a silly question, I am a novice when it comes to these things. Just doing projects to learn).

Thanks

It’s a pity that you never put the numbers you connected the wires to Im trying to totally rewire a set of car seats with 3 motors in each chair any help will be great my switch have have 5 terminals on them

[paulmanhart]

What kind of motor is it?
What is its voltage and amperage rating?
If it’s a DC motor, why not use a DPDT switch?
All this information is missing from your video.
I have a 4.25 hp, 130 VDC treadmill motor and I want push buttons for forward, stop and reverse. A normal DPDT toggle switch won’t cut it.
So I watched your video to see how it’s done with relays, but I still don’t know what to do.

Bu peut'on mettre un programmateur a la place de l'interrupteur merci

[karahana]

hi there! is that mean the heavy load does not pass through the switch, but only through the relays?

[coxonuo]

mine clicks but wont move the motor. i pluged in the motor directly to the battery and it works so its not the motor i wonder what’s wrong

[lukaszadxd]

Hello, is it possible to control such a set but with a joystick?

[dontfit]

Thanks for this I think I can use it.
I also would like to be able to adjust the speeds of forward and reverse independently. Any chance you have any idea?

[TTTray]

What would happen if both inputs were triggered at the same time?

I want to use this setup but will be using reed switches for travel limits and a photo eye for the switch. How would I wire in the reed switches?

[dannyrice]

Is the output to the motor on the 30s or the 87s or does it make any difference?

Ky do 5 pin relay se do power window kam karga

Se fase e neutro viaggiano sempre uguali, e l'interruttore cia solo la fase co potrebbe mai funzionare senza prendere fuoco 🔥
