ABSTRACT:
A separately excited DC motor system is arranged to provide operation in a smooth, continuous electrical retarding mode. A series contactor connects the motor armature to a DC power source and is controlled so as to immediately open upon sensing of a need for electrical braking. Concurrently, power to the motor field is reversed so that no additional changes are required to brake to zero speed. Field current is modulated to control armature current so as to control braking effort. When speed falls below a value necessary to maintain armature voltage above battery voltage, the armature is cyclically short-circuited to boost armature current so that when the short-circuit is removed, the armature reactance forces current to continue for regeneration.
