REO is an original manufacturer of high quality power equipment, including electronic controllers, components and electrical regulators.
Often motor-driven dynamic systems with either large, rotating masses or used for moving heavy weight loads, build up high levels of kinetic or potential energy so that when they are required to decelerate or stop then this presents a problem. The motor is required to run in reverse and operates as a generator of electri-cal energy which has to be diverted or dissipated. One simple method of doing this is to feed the surplus electrical energy into braking resistors which converts it into heat energy. Examples of systems that store kinetic energy are centrifuges, press-brakes, wind turbines, large fans and trains, whilst examples of poten-tial energy sources are lifts, escalators and cranes.
