A customer of mine has a problem with induced voltage. He has multiple small motors being driven through a multicore cable - I know - should not do it that way or you get the problem he has.
The motors are reversible and even though the induced voltage is only 5 volts, it locks out the motor from being driven in the opposite direction.
I guess that the driving contactor for, say, clockwise direction could ground out the cable for anti-clockwise direction and take the induced voltage to ground but I thought someone my have a better way.
Any help appreciated.
By the way, I have searched Wikipedia without success but may be looking for the wrong thing.
