How Many Types of Motor Braking Methods Are There?
1 Answers
There are three types of motor braking methods, including plugging (reverse current) braking, dynamic (rheostatic) braking, and regenerative braking. A braking motor is a fully enclosed, self-ventilated, squirrel-cage type three-phase asynchronous motor equipped with an additional disc-type DC brake. It consists of a Y-series motor with an additional DC disc-type electromagnetic braking motor installed between the rear end cover and the fan, making it a derivative series of the Y-series. Below is additional information: 1. Plugging Braking: To achieve rapid stopping, the armature voltage of a running motor is suddenly reversed, and a resistor is connected in series in the armature circuit. This is called plugging braking. 2. Dynamic Braking: This refers to suddenly disconnecting the armature power supply of a running DC motor and then connecting a braking resistor in series in the armature circuit, causing the inertial energy of the armature winding to be dissipated in the resistor, thereby achieving rapid braking of the motor. 3. Regenerative Braking: Also known as feedback braking, it is a braking technology used in electric vehicles. During braking, the kinetic energy of the vehicle is converted and stored rather than being wasted as heat.
