Re: Victor Brakes

It's also important to note that the retarding torque provided by dynamic braking is directly proportional to the speed the motor is rotating at.

Trick Question: Assume a frictionless CIM motor, with some internal resistance, spinning at, oh, 100 rpm. When does it stop spinning if you turn on dynamic braking? The answer should tell you why dynamic braking isn't necessarily useful.
