Application Notes
Reversing with dynamic braking
A dynamic brake may be used when reversing the motor direction
(Figure 9). Use a three pole, three position switch rated for at
least the maximum DC armature voltage and maximum braking
current. Wait for the motor to stop completely before switching it
to either the forward or reverse direction.
