During rheostat braking of D.C. series motors_____________?
Correct answer: A. motor is run as a generator
- A. motor is run as a generator
- B. motor is reversed in direction
- C. motor is run at reduced speed
Explanation
In rheostatic or dynamic braking, the supply is disconnected and the running motor is connected as a generator feeding a braking resistor. The resistor absorbs the converted mechanical energy and produces braking torque.
