Dynamic Braking Resistors including water-cooled versions
When a motor is driven by its mechanical load, such as in the case of a decelerating flywheel, the motor acts as a generator and the kinetic energy is converted into electrical energy. Often this surplus electrical energy, if it cannot be regenerated, is unwanted and it can be harmful to the electrical motor drive system. When this condition arises the surplus energy can be absorbed by the introduction of a resistive load into the motor cir¬cuit which converts it into heat and at the same time a braking effect is created, which usually is desirable for reasons of safety and protection of the electrical drive system.
