Braking a drive is required in order to
Answer: A
Correct answer: decelerate it, hold it, or control a descending load
Braking serves three distinct duties, and they demand different arrangements. Deceleration removes kinetic energy from the rotating parts and ends at zero speed. Holding keeps a stationary load stationary and needs torque at zero speed, which electrical braking cannot give. Controlling a descent restrains a load that gravity would otherwise accelerate, and it may continue for minutes at a steady speed, so the energy involved can be far larger than a stop. Braking has nothing to do with acceleration, power factor or losses at the rated point.
