During regenerative braking of a drive, the kinetic energy of the rotating parts

  • A.is dissipated as heat in an external resistance bank
  • B.is dissipated as heat within the windings of the machine
  • C.is stored in the inertia until the next acceleration
  • D.returns to the supply less the losses

Answer: D

Correct answer: returns to the supply less the losses

In regeneration the machine acts as a generator and the converter passes the power back to the mains or to a battery, so the kinetic energy is recovered rather than wasted - less the copper, iron and converter losses along the way. It is the most efficient method and the only one that recovers anything, but it requires a supply able to accept reverse power flow, which a diode rectifier is not.
