Fan Stop™

The Fan-StopTM is an electronic motor brake that permits rapid starting of AC motors by first eliminating an effect called "wind-milling" or coasting. The braking action is by DC injection, creating a stationary magnetic field within the motor. Braking action is smooth, adjustable and frictionless, beginning automatically before the motor is turned on. The Fan-StopTM is specially intended for applications such as fans where the motor may be wind-milling in reverse prior to the motor receiving a command to run. By braking the motor to a stop, mechanical stresses on power train are eliminated.
