Abstract: An anti-plug reversing circuit for use with a variable speed D.C. motor which provides safe and fast motor reversing with dynamic braking. The circuit, by sensing counter-EMF, prevents the premature application of a voltage of opposite (reversing) polarity until the motor armature has come to a full stop. The circuit advantageously utilizes a three-wire control input, is low cost, easily manufactured and applicable for use with low cost D.C. motors.
