Hi, I'm looking for a reversing soft starter??. Is there such a thing? Been searching the www but not found anything. Otherwise I will need normal reversing contactors with a soft starter. I do not really want to go to a VFD. TVMIA

Just use a reversing contactor set in front of the soft starter. It is cheaper than the electronic soft starter, plus there is no chance of an SCR misfire causing a direct short, as there is in the 10-SCR reversing soft starters. Only a few soft starter manufacturers bother with the reversing type, they are more trouble that they are worth.
