Re: Power of Victor Brake

The dynamic brake in a Victvor will not keep a robot on the ramp. It effectively is a method where in converting mechanical energy to electrical energy being delivered to a dead short provided by the brake, causes a similar load to be applied to the motor. Energy is generated only when the motor is moving.
