Operation
Figure 11. Run/Decelerate to Minimum Speed Switch
Dynamic Braking
Dynamic braking may be used to rapidly stop a motor (Figure 12, page 29). For the
RUN/BRAKE switch, use a three pole, double throw switch rated for at least the maxi-
mum DC armature voltage, 15 amps. For the dynamic brake resistor, use a 40 Watt
minimum, high power, wirewound resistor.
Dynamic Brake Resistor Value
Sizing the dynamic brake resistor depends on load inertia, motor voltage and braking
time. Use a lower-value, higher wattage dynamic brake resistor to stop a motor more
rapidly. A good starting point is a 40 Ohm, 40 Watt.
