Abstract :
This paper describes a method for calculating the speed-torque curve of a squirrel-cage induction motor when static capacitors are used to produce dynamic braking. The method is simple yet sufficiently accurate for the purpose of selecting equipment for any normal application. The advantages and disadvantages of this method of braking control are compared with those of other methods in use for squirrel-cage motors.
