Patents

  • Method and apparatus for braking an electric motor

    Issued US US 2012/0268045

    The invention provides a method and apparatus for braking an electric motor. The apparatus includes an electric motor, an electric generator, and an electrical circuit arrangement capable of connecting the electric generator to the electric motor. The electric generator generates an instantaneous generator electromotive force at substantially equal magnitude and opposite polarity to an instantaneous motor electromotive force present in the electric motor. The electrical circuit arrangement is…

    The invention provides a method and apparatus for braking an electric motor. The apparatus includes an electric motor, an electric generator, and an electrical circuit arrangement capable of connecting the electric generator to the electric motor. The electric generator generates an instantaneous generator electromotive force at substantially equal magnitude and opposite polarity to an instantaneous motor electromotive force present in the electric motor. The electrical circuit arrangement is capable of supplying the instantaneous generator electromotive force to the electric motor. The instantaneous generator electromotive force is supplied in response to connecting the electric generator and the electric motor. The instantaneous generator electromotive force substantially negates the instantaneous motor electromotive force, thereby braking the electric motor.
