2. 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 ...

   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.

   Additional circuitry in the controller is used to manage this current flow from the stator windings into the battery, some of which dissipates as heat within the circuitry of the controller. In contrast, eddy current retarder brakes comprise a distinct and purpose-built static armature and rotor that are explicitly made and added to a vehicle ...

   English: A diagram showing how a disk-type eddy current brake works. Eddy current brakes are used in power tools like circular saws to stop the blade quickly, and in electric meters. The brake consists of a spinning conductive metal disk (D) spinning counterclockwise in this example, whose surface is positioned between the poles of a magnet (N ...
