Q4/ We wish to stop a 120 hp. 240 V. 400 r/min motor by using the dynamic breaking circuit shown in Fig. 3. If the normal armature current is 400 A, calculate the following: 1. The value of the breaking resistor R if we want to limit the maximum breaking current to 125 percent of its nominal value. 2. The breaking power when the motor has decelerated to 200 r/min, 50 r/min, and 0 r/min.
