Why Braking • To stop the electric motor. • To sustain the speed of the drive system at the desired value. • To prevent the motor from over-speeding. • To hold the motor shaft at a certain position regardless of the applied load torque.
1. Regenerative Braking • When the load torque causes the machine to run at a speed > no-load speed, but without changing its direction of rotation, the motor is in regenerative braking.

2. Dynamic Braking • When the motor is running, kinetic energy is stored in its rotating mass. • If the kinetic energy of the motor is dissipated in a resistive element, the motor stops.

3. Counter Current Braking • If the the airgap field reverses its rotation, the rotor shaft must also reverse its rotation.
