  2. Dynamic braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_braking

    Norfolk Southern 5348 diesel-electric locomotive employs dynamic braking. The cooling grill for the brake grid resistors is at the top center of the locomotive. Dynamic braking is the use of an electric traction motor as a generator when slowing a vehicle such as an electric or diesel-electric locomotive.

  3. DC injection braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DC_injection_braking

    The braking torque depends on the magnitude of the current, which can be varied by phase control of the thyristors. When the motor is switched off, the motor contactor relay not only disconnects the AC current supply to the motor windings, but also causes a braking relay contactor to close. This initiates a sequence beginning with a time delay ...

  4. Braking unit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_unit

    Braking unit also some times referred as Dynamic braking unit may refer to: DC injection braking unit, an electrical braking device for ac motors; Regenerative braking unit, regenerative braking systems used in traction motors; Electromagnetic brake, devices using electromagnetic forces to mechanically brake

  5. Variable-frequency drive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive

    Small variable-frequency drive Chassis of above VFD (cover removed). A variable-frequency drive (VFD, or adjustable-frequency drive, adjustable-speed drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro drive, inverter drive, variable voltage variable frequency drive, or drive) is a type of AC motor drive (system incorporating a motor) that controls speed and torque by varying the frequency of the ...

  6. Regenerative braking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regenerative_braking

    The rolling locomotive or multiple unit wheels turn the motor armatures, and the motors act as generators, either sending the generated current through onboard resistors (dynamic braking) or back into the supply (regenerative braking).

  7. Braking chopper - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braking_chopper

    A braking chopper is an magnetical switch that limits the DC bus voltage by switching the braking energy to a resistor where the braking energy is converted to heat. Braking choppers are automatically activated when the actual DC bus voltage exceeds a specified level depending on the nominal voltage of the variable-frequency drive

  8. Eddy current brake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eddy_current_brake

    Disk electromagnetic brakes are used on vehicles such as trains, and power tools such as circular saws, to stop the blade quickly when the power is turned off.A disk eddy current brake consists of a conductive non-ferromagnetic metal disc attached to the axle of the vehicle's wheel, with an electromagnet located with its poles on each side of the disk, so the magnetic field passes through the ...
