  • Product description

    LP2K Reversing Mini Contactor – 3P, 6A, 2.2kW, 24VDC Coil, 1NO Auxiliary Contact

    A reversing mini contactor designed for changing the direction of rotation of three-phase electric motors, as well as for control and automation circuits. The device consists of two interconnected contactors that allow for the safe switching of motor phases to select forward or reverse operation. The contactor features 3 poles, 6A rated current, 2.2kW power, a 24VDC control coil, and 1 normally open (NO) auxiliary contact.

    Main concept:
    A reversing contactor is used when it is necessary not only to start or stop a three-phase motor but also to change its direction of rotation. It is suitable for conveyors, gates, lifting mechanisms, fans, pumps, machine tools, and other automation systems where motor operation in both forward and reverse directions is required.

    Operating principle

    A reversing contactor consists of two contactors: one designed for the motor to run in one direction, and the other for the opposite direction. By changing the phase sequence, the direction of rotation of the three-phase electric motor is reversed.

    The contactors in a reversing system must be controlled so that both are not engaged at the same time. Therefore, reversing contactors use mechanical and/or electrical interlocking to prevent phase short-circuiting and to protect the motor control circuit.

    When is a reversing contactor required?
    It is required when the motor needs to work in both directions: for example, to raise and lower a mechanism, open and close gates, change the direction of a conveyor, control a reversing fan, or operate machine tool mechanisms.

    Key features

    • Motor direction reversal – allows switching a three-phase motor to run in forward or reverse directions.
    • Three-phase motor control – designed for 3-phase electric motor control circuits.
    • 24VDC control coil – suitable for control schemes using 24VDC.
    • 1NO auxiliary contact – can be used for signaling, self-holding circuits, PLC input, or other automation functions.
    • Compact form factor – convenient for smaller control cabinets, automation panels, and equipment control systems.

    Where is it used?

    • Automatic gates and barriers – for controlling opening and closing mechanisms.
    • Conveyors – for changing movement direction based on production process needs.
    • Lifting and lowering mechanisms – hoists, winches, platforms, and other equipment.
    • Machine tools and workshops – for mechanisms requiring reversing functionality.
    • Pump and fan control systems – where technological requirements demand directional changes.
    • Industrial control cabinets – in motor and automation circuits.

    Practical installation example

    For example, a reversing mini contactor can be used in a three-phase motor control cabinet designed for a small conveyor. One control button triggers the motor to run forward, and another triggers reverse. The contactor's interlocking system prevents both directions from being engaged simultaneously.

    The auxiliary 1NO contact can be used for a pilot light, PLC input, or a self-holding circuit that keeps the contactor engaged after the control button is released.

    Usage according to professional needs

    For the electrician: A compact reversing contactor suitable for installation in control cabinets and equipment automation schemes. It is important to correctly wire the phase sequence, control coil, interlocking circuit, and motor protection.

    For the engineer/designer: An appropriate solution when designing smaller-capacity reversing motor control systems. When selecting a contactor, it is essential to evaluate the motor power, operating current, starting conditions, load category, and control voltage.

    For the industrial maintenance professional: Can be used for reversing control of manufacturing equipment, gates, conveyors, hoists, fans, and other mechanisms, as well as for repairing existing contactor systems.

    Pros

    • Reversing control – motor direction can be changed forward and backward.
    • 3-pole construction – designed for three-phase motor control.
    • 6A rated current – suitable for various smaller motor control circuits.
    • 2.2kW rated power – a practical solution for many industrial mechanisms.
    • 1NO auxiliary contact – suitable for signaling and automation functions.
    • Compact size – convenient for smaller control cabinets.
    • Lightweight – only 0.443 kg.

    Cons / limitations

    • Designed for reversing control only – for simple motor start/stop, a single standard contactor may be sufficient and more economical.
    • Requires proper control logic – mandatory to ensure both directions are not energized simultaneously.
    • Requires motor protection – the contactor does not replace a thermal overload relay, motor protection circuit breaker, or fuse.
    • Power depends on operating conditions – check specific motor parameters and load type before installation.

    Safety and installation notes

    The reversing contactor must be installed and wired according to the electrical diagram, manufacturer documentation, and applicable electrical safety standards. Incorrectly wired reversing schemes can lead to short circuits, motor damage, or equipment failure.

    • Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician.
    • Before installation, always disconnect the power supply and verify that the circuit is de-energized.
    • Use appropriate mechanical or electrical interlocking to prevent both contactors from engaging at the same time.
    • The motor circuit must include appropriate overload and short-circuit protection.
    • Before selecting a contactor, verify the motor's rated current, power, grid voltage, and load category.
    • The control coil should only be connected to a 24VDC control voltage.

    Quick selection guide

    A reversing mini contactor is suitable when you need to control a three-phase electric motor reversibly and the control scheme uses a 24VDC coil. This is a practical solution for smaller motors, gate mechanisms, conveyors, lifting equipment, and various automation systems.

    Suitable when you need to:
    • change the direction of rotation of a three-phase motor;
    • control a motor in both forward and reverse directions;
    • use 24VDC control voltage;
    • control circuits up to 6A rated current;
    • use an additional 1NO contact for signaling or automation.
    Check before ordering:
    • if the motor's rated current and power match the contactor's parameters;
    • if a 24VDC coil is specifically required;
    • if a 1NO auxiliary contact is needed;
    • if motor protection is included in the control cabinet;
    • if the reversing scheme requires additional control buttons, relays, or pilot lights.
    Important reminder:
    The reversing contactor must be wired according to a correct reversing motor control diagram. Improper wiring of phases or the interlocking circuit may damage the contactor, motor, or the entire control system.

    FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a reversing contactor?
    It is a contactor or a pair of contactors designed to change the direction of rotation of a three-phase electric motor, allowing it to run in both forward and reverse directions.
    What does 3P mean?
    3P means the contactor has three main poles and is designed for the control of three-phase electric circuits and three-phase motors.
    What does 1NO mean?
    1NO means one normally open auxiliary contact. It can be used for signaling, self-holding circuits, indication, or as an input for automation equipment.
    Is this contactor suitable for simple motor starting?
    Yes, but if reversing the motor is not required, it is generally more economical and simpler to use a single standard contactor with appropriate motor protection.
    Does the contactor protect the motor from overload?
    No. The contactor is intended for starting, stopping, and reversing control. For overload protection, an appropriate thermal relay, motor protection circuit breaker, or other protective equipment must be used.
