Which method of braking is generally used in elevators ?
Correct answer: A. Plugging
- A. Plugging
- B. Regenerative braking
- C. Rheostatic braking
- D. None of the above
Explanation
Plugging applies a reverse torque and brings an elevator to rest quickly, which is important for accurate stopping at floors. Regenerative and rheostatic braking are useful in other operating conditions but are not the usual answer here.
