    Dynamic Braking and Plugging - Electrical Concepts

    Dynamic braking involves disconnecting a running motor from its power source and connecting it across a resistance, causing the motor to act as a generator and reverse its torque and slow down. Plugging also reverses the motor's torque but does so by reversing the supply voltage terminals, wasting the regenerated power in an external resistance. Dynamic braking is more efficient by gradually reducing the resistance as the motor's speed falls to maintain torque. Both methods reverse the motor's torque direction to brake it without regenerative braking.

    Dynamic Braking and Plugging

    Dynamic Braking:

    Apart from Regenerative Braking, another method of reversing the direction of torque and
    Braking the motor is dynamic braking. In this method of braking the motor which is at a running
    condition is disconnected from the source and connected across a resistance. When the motor
    is disconnected from the source, the rotor keeps rotating due to inertia and it works as a self
    excited generator. When the motor works as a generator the flow of the current and torque
    reverses. During braking to maintain the steady torque sectional resistances are cut out one by
    one.

    It shall be noted that for Dynamic Braking the connection of Field coil is reversed in case of DC
    Series Motor so as to assist the residual flux. Thus the direction of current changes but the
    direction of field flux remains the same and this is because the direction of torque reverses.

    In case of Separately Excited Motor, for fast Braking large value of RB is used but as the speed
    falls the value of RB is reduced to have high average torque as shown in figure below.

    Plugging:

    Another type of Braking is Plugging type Braking. In this method the terminals of supply are
    reversed for Separately Excited Motor, as a result the supply voltage assist the counter or back
    emf to reverse the current. This in turn demands external resistance into the circuit to limit the
    flowing current. The main disadvantage of this method is that regenerated power and supply
    power is wasted in the resistance. Therefore Plugging is most inefficient method of Braking.

    As shown in figure above, for Series Motor, the supply voltage is not reversed but the armature
    terminal is reversed. This is done so that the direction of field current remains the same and
    hence the direction of field flux may remain same. Thus only the direction of current changes
    but field flux remains same and hence torque reverses.

    Thank you!
