01 / OVERVIEW

Built for changing
direction.

The MGR-3 M series controls the rotation direction of a three-phase AC motor using DC control signals. A panel-mount enclosure brings the power and control connections together in a compact format.

10–32 V DCControl input
Up to 750 V ACAbove 480 V AC: custom order
25 / 40 / 60 / 80 AAbove 40 A: custom order

Forward / reverse interlock

Built-in interlock protection for direction control.

Two-colour indication

Red and green LEDs indicate output status.

RC snubber circuit

Standard output RC snubber included.

Low-loss switching

Low off-state leakage, low on-state voltage drop and low input current.

02 / MODELS & SPECIFICATIONS

Select your controller.

Choose from 25 A, 40 A, 60 A and 80 A ratings. Ratings above 40 A require a custom order. Load-voltage ratings above 480 V AC are also custom-made, up to a maximum of 750 V AC.

04 / DIMENSIONS & DIAGRAM

Compact footprint.
Clear connections.

Standard housing dimensions: 105 × 75 × 33 mm. Confirm the dimensions and supplied drawing for custom current or voltage versions. Mounting centres: 90 ± 0.1 × 48 ± 0.1 mm. The drawing identifies six M5 power terminals and three M3 control terminals.

05 / CONNECTIONS

Power and control,
clearly separated.

Use the original diagram above as the connection reference. Terminal names below follow that diagram; do not identify terminals by position alone.

POWER CIRCUIT

Three-phase AC

A1 · B1 · C1Three-phase supply side
A2 · B2 · C2Three-phase motor side

The source diagram shows fast fuses in the three supply conductors and additional suppression components. Coordinate external protection with the selected controller and motor.

CONTROL CIRCUIT

DC direction inputs

FORWARD +Forward command
−Shared DC control negative
REVERSE +Reverse command

Apply one direction command at a time. Confirm the required changeover delay for the motor and load; no reversal timing value is specified in the supplied datasheets.

06 / INSTALLATION & SELECTION

Plan for the motor,
not just the module.

01

Allow 5–7 times the actual motor current

Choose the controller rated current at 5–7 times the actual motor current. Share motor power, actual current, starting current and reversing frequency so we can confirm the rating, cooling and changeover sequence. Ratings above 40 A or 480 V AC require customization; the maximum custom load-voltage rating is 750 V AC.

02

Provide adequate cooling

The M4825 datasheet calls for a heat sink at 10 A load current, and forced-air or water cooling at 40 A and above. Confirm the thermal arrangement for the actual operating conditions.

03

Coordinate surge protection

The datasheet requires an external varistor for inductive loads. Confirm its rating and placement, fast-fuse coordination and motor overload protection before installation.

Technical reference: supplied MGR-3-M4825 product datasheet and MGR-3M series parameter/dimensional sheets, with current options, custom-order limits and the 5–7× current-selection guideline confirmed by MGR. The series sheets do not specify numeric leakage current, voltage drop or reversal delay; these values are not assumed here.

APPLICATION / HOW IT WORKS

See the switching function.

One direction command at a time: forward, stop, then reverse. The built-in interlock prevents conflicting direction commands. Confirm the required changeover delay for the motor and load; the animation timing is illustrative.
