Thumbs up More specific information?
I really appreciate all of the replies to my post. However, it is not anything I didn't all ready know.

I don't want to go into the details of my idea just yet, but I am not planning on using the brake feature on primary drive motors.

What i really need to be able to do is predict the toque value I will get from a motor being backdriven at a certain speed. If the motor is backdriven against a torque then work is being done. Where does the energy go? I think it comes out of the victor as heat. Is this correct? How much of this can the victor take? And what happens if the motor is backdriven at a very high rate? Will the voltage and current continue to climb until something melts?

Thanks again
Matt
