Motor contactor and reversing switch wiring

[GraemeVW]

Do you want a decent one? I’ll Chuck you one in the post for the cost of postage…

I don't really know!

I have found a couple that are very similar to the pic I posted, but with an actual brand, so I assume they will be more reliable.

I know what I want it to do electrically, and I'm just making assumptions that cheap ones will not be very good.

I do want one with screw contacts, or it seems more likely a base that has screw contacts. Don't really want to be dealing with spade terminals on the wiring.

What have you got?
Thanks

I’ve got loads like the one in your pic, proper industrial ones (can’t recall what makes I’ve got off the top of my head, probably omron or schrack…) will get some pics tomorrow. They are all left over from jobs

Pm me your address and I’ll Chuck it in a Jiffy bag.

That's very kind, thank you!

I've just had time to peruse your circuit. It looks OK, except for the fact that your relay is shorting the feed in both positions. Swap the two contacts to the left as drawn on the relay and you'll be fine. So, for example, make the two centre contacts line, and the two outers neutral.

Just looked at the drawing again an ive no idea why I've drawn it the way I did!

You obviously got the jist of what I want to do though, I just fudged the connections.
Unsurprising considering I didn't even draw in the coil circuit!

I was trying not to burn cheese at the time!
