I want to switch the motor of an electric impact wrench with a momentary ON-OFF-ON toggle switch. Pos A = ON/FWD, Pos B = ON/REV.
I had originally thought I could use a DPDT switch but after tracing out the ON-OFF and FWD/REV it does not look like I can do that.
The motor coil has four leads. Two are the AC Line & Neutral and the other two are to the brushes. The brushes are switched through a FWD/REV switch.
Here is a wiring diagram of the motor & switching.
Is there a way to make a DPDT switch work or could a 3PDT switch be used and just switch the LINE side of the AC in?
