Dynamic braking of a dc motor is arranged by

  • A.disconnecting the armature and connecting it across a resistor
  • B.reversing the supply connections to the armature while it still turns
  • C.reversing the connections to the field winding of the machine
  • D.returning the energy of the rotating parts to the supply through the converter

Answer: A

Correct answer: disconnecting the armature and connecting it across a resistor

In dynamic or rheostatic braking the machine is separated from the supply while its field is maintained, so it continues to generate; the armature is connected across a resistor and the kinetic energy is dissipated there as heat. It is simple and needs no cooperation from the supply, but the energy is wasted. Regenerative braking returns it instead, and plugging reverses the supply connections, which is a third method again.
