With an AC synchronous electric propulsion motor driving a fixed-pitch propeller, whenever there is a direction reversal ordered from the bridge, there is a process of regenerative braking that is used to slow the motor down before the shaft actually reverses. Where is the energy associated with the inertia of rotation dissipated before reversal occurs?

Question

Accepted Answer

The energy is dissipated by transferring the energy back to the electrical source.

Answer

The energy is dissipated at the AC synchronous electric propulsion motor itself.

Answer

The energy is dissipated at a dynamic braking resistor bank used for this purpose only.

Answer

The energy is dissipated at the load converter GTO controlled thyristors.
