Plug Braking
The standard forward/reverse control wiring (as shown in Figure 8 by the thin
lines) provides plug braking. The forward/reverse switch should be in the positive
feed to the contactor coils, so that they can be turned off by the keyswitch,
interlocks, and pedal microswitch. The coil of one contactor or the other is
energized to select the direction desired. The contactor coils should have suppres-
sion diodes connected across them to improve switch contact life.
Freewheeling: Wiring to Inhibit Plug Braking
If a non-SRO controller has the HPD option, this feature can be used to inhibit
plug braking by briefly turning off the controller's KSI input when the forward/
reverse switch goes through neutral. As shown in Figure 9, another set of contacts
is added on the forward/reverse switch. Therefore, a double-pole, double-throw
(DPDT) center-off switch must be used for this setup. A "hesitation switch" is
recommended, to ensure the switch is in neutral long enough to actuate HPD and
inhibit plug braking.
