There are four switches. If you close two switches of any side it will short circuit your battery but if you close any two switches through corner it will rotate motor any particular direction.

Do a search for h bridge or maybe even h-bridge to see complete control circuits

If you look for a complete control circuit, look into my github. guthub/shuvangkar. You will find a sine wave inverter project

The shorting problem arises because EC components are ‘perfect’. That is, the supply output impedance is zero and coils (including transformer windings) and switches have zero contact resistance. This can result in simulator calculations where the result is infinity causing the error message to be displayed. A workaround for this is to place very small value resistors in the circuit in series with such components which can be in parallel when switches are operated.

In the circuit shown here, for example, a 1 milliOhm resistor in series with each of the to switches will prevent the error message. You will, of course, get very high currents when the upper and lower switches are both on, a condition which you would design out in a real circuit.

As you will realise not every ‘perfect’ component in a given circuit need have a resistive element providing each potential short circuit path has one. So, if you add the two mentioned above the supply does not need to have a resistor to represent it’s output resistance. Hope this helps someone.

Correction, it should have said ‘ …..a 1 milliOhm resistor in series with each of the top switches ….’

Final note: there doesn’t have to be a supply involved. Just putting two switches in parallel, or coils etc. will cause the error message.
