Abstract
A braking system for three phase motors without an accessible neutral terminal comprising a current limiting motion detection circuit that is energized when the motor is energized or is being supplied with braking current as long as the rotor is in motion, a DC braking circuit, and a control circuit actuated by a stop command that disconnects the source from the motor and supplies braking current until the rotor comes to a stop. A ferroresonant motion detection circuit is disclosed that is also useful in braking systems for other motor types.
