Braking a drive is required in order to

  • A.decelerate it, hold it, or control a descending load
  • B.increase the torque available for accelerating the load from rest
  • C.improve the power factor at which the drive operates
  • D.reduce the losses of the machine at its rated operating point

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.
