ABSTRACT:
The subject invention is an electric motor brake which uses a simplified circuit enabling a timed injection of DC voltage into the motor windings of an induction motor. This DC voltage acts as a dynamic braking force and will bring the rotor, and whatever is connected to it, to a stop in a rapid fashion. An additional advantage of the invention is that it may be constructed and used as a stand alone device which may be attached to any electrical induction motor to achieve the desired braking effect. A further feature of the invention is the provision of a timing circuit that it is designed to be user adjusted to achieve the maximum possible effect rather than using a fixed design which would result in a compromise in order to be suited for wide usage.
