High braking torque is produced in case of which braking method

Electrical Engineering XYZ MCQs

High braking torque is produced in case of which braking method:

  1. Regenerative braking
  2. Plugging braking
  3. Dynamic braking
  4. None of the above

Correct answer: 2. Plugging braking

Explanation: Plugging is the most powerful method of braking an electric motor, consisting of actively applying power to the motor in the opposite direction of its rotation. 

List of all braking methods:

  1. DC injection braking
  2. Dynamic braking of AC Induction Motors
  3. Regenerative braking of AC Induction Motors
  4. Braking using Plugging
