Thank you after watching other 7 videos your demonstration made it quite simple to understand some youtubers tend to overcomplicate it. I was looking at a schematic with a dc motor that had a brake that just shorted the terminals, my head couldn't work out how it was working you demo clear this up. thanks

I just had to trouble shoot why a motor on my airplane (used to raise and lower the landing gear) wasn't dynamic braking like it should. My mechanic tried to explain it to me, but your video was great. I get it now! Great job!

thank you! i finally was able to understand what dynamic braking in a diesel electric locomotive is! such a simple idea yet I always wondered why steam locomotives always have a diesel tag along for dynamic braking...

+Bilawal Hassim Thanks for your pleasant comment. Locomotives actually drive their wheels with electric motors that can also act as generators. Even though the locomotive runs off of diesel power the diesel engine is used to drive a master electric generator to power all the electric drive motors to make the locomotive move. When the locomotive must brake these drive motors can be configured to act as generators. Power from these generators is routed to a resistor bank which loads down these generators and slows them down. When the generators are loaded down they begin transforming the kinetic energy of the locomotive into heat which slows the locomotive down. Dynamic braking is critical in this situation since it minimizes the need for mechanical brakes which greatly extends the life of the mechanical brakes which are only used to brake at slow speeds or keep the train from moving when it is stationary. I’ve included a link to a not-so-great video of someone explaining the concept. kzitem.info/news/bejne/x2Oq1KuisoGegaA Regenerative braking is quickly replacing dynamic braking since it allows the braking energy to be captured and used to help run the locomotive.

Very nice explanation...Thank you! Is there a way to adjust a dynamic brake so it does NOT stop the motor so quickly? I have a Dynamic Brake on a saw and it stops the motor so quickly, it loosens the arbor nut every time.

It is more difficult to stop an AC motor. To stop an AC motor you must apply a DC voltage to the windings. The process is known as DC injection braking. Applying a lower voltage will stop the motor less quickly than using a large DC voltage.

we men and some women have dynamic braking in our homes and don't even know it, power tools drills, if you were to hold the spinning part of a drill and apply a small amount of power and try to spin the drills head it is going to be hard to spin, release the power and the dynamic braking is gone. i forget to mention do NOT try it on your expensive drill it will damage it. talking from experience. and really nice video!!

Thanks for making an obviously complicated topic seem so simple. I need to deploy this knowledge to a pet project. I am building an automatic gate opener. My challenge is how to make the gate stop as it hits the limit switch, but the motor keeps going for seconds due to inertia (i guess). Should i just reverse the polarity to achieve an abrupt stop? How about the inertia, will it cause any damage to the motor internals? It's a 3hp dc motor, operated with 24v battery.
@DorianMcIntire

All you really need to do is load the motor down by shorting its leads together. If you want a slower stop load the motor by connecting a low value resistor to its leads.

Very good vid. Had a ? I have a 1 HP 110/220 ac motor. I believe it has a break on it. I have it connected to a flywheel (325 pounds ) for starting up to it's speed. I need to disconnect the internal brake so it slows down naturally how ever long it takes when power switched off . can this be done? again thanks for the vid.

Is the motor singel-phase or 3-phase. Whether it's a mechanical brake or electrical brake I should be possible to remove it. Electrical brakes for AC motors usually work by applying DC to the rotor.

Hi, thanks for your video. May I ask if the motor running in the high speed and apply dynamic braking instantly, will it damage the wiring since the resistance is too low?
@DorianMcIntire
4 жыл бұрын
That is not a problem since all you are really doing is changing the motor from a motor to a generator. When the change to a generator occurs the current generated is not much more than the stall current of the motor which must be tolerated by the motor when initially started.

If you would have the motor connected to the battery, spinning, and then change the +/- connections while its still spinning, lets say its in a train and you want to stop it. So it has forward momentum, and you change the connections of either excitation or armature. Motor would slow down with momentum dependent on the current through its windings (whichever winding you control). Would armature then during that kind of braking be using electricity or producing it?
@ib2586

Break Man I think it would be using it, and it would be using a lot of it to stop the train quickly, and all the energy discipation would be on the motor which might overheat it. Thats probably why DC trains just switch armature to a resistor like you did here to slow down to near stop and use that energy up in a resistor instead of the motor. Downside is they cant do a full stop with only that method since it approaches 0rpm very gradually, they'd have to switch connections +/- to get it to a stop and disconnect voltage when it stops so it wouldnt start spinning in other direction. But I think they just use mechanical brakes for that last bit.
@DorianMcIntire

Break Man Yes most trains are diesel-electric and use dynamic braking to slow down and stop the trains. The electric motors that drive the train wheels can also become generators and energy from these motors is diverted into resistor banks that turn into heat. Newer trains are using regenerative braking in which braking energy is stored and reused to help start the train again.

Does it mean that any DC motor connected to a battery will charge it while being rotating?

If the DC motor can create a higher voltage than the battery while rotating it can charge the battery. A good example of how this can work is a hybrid automobile.

Most any DC gear motor with an output RPM between 15 rpm and 40 rpm will work fine. You must add a piece to the output shaft to allow you to turn the shaft with your hand. I have used a pair of vice grips on motor shafts of other gear motors to do this. The motor in the video was removed from a piece of equipment and worked well without having to add anything. www.amazon.com/dp/B01KTYOUBQ?psc=1

All permanent magnet DC motors are also generators you should buy a pair of these with the same specifications although the exact specifications is not too important except you will want a big reduction in speed on the output shaft. Even cheap gear motors like the ones at the following link will work and they have a wheel you can fasten to the shaft to turn. www.amazon.com/ZJchao-Arduino-Plastic-Wheel-Motor/dp/B01934CLG4/ref=sr_1_15?ie=UTF8&qid=1495892447&sr=8-15&keywords=DC+gear+motor Have fun
