2.2 Reverse Drive

When motor is detected to be spinning in the opposite direction, the reverse drive feature enables the user to reverse the motor direction in a controlled manner.

When recommended:

  • If external factors like wind are present that rotates the motor in the opposite direction, reverse drive is recommended to be enabled for faster and smoother direction reversal and ramp in the commanded direction.
    • Example: pedestal fans due to possibility of wind causing rotation.
  • Applications that require the motor to spin in both directions.
    • Example: Vacuum cleaner to suck the dust and blow the dust.
