Run/Stop Circuits
This is accomplished by inserting a set of normally open contacts in
parallel with the gray and brown wires that connect to the speed
adjust pot. When the contacts are closed, the motor will coast to a
stop.
This method is desirable when dynamic braking is not
needed, but frequent starts and stops are required. This method
also
has
the
advantage
of
not
having to switch the
AC power line or the
DC armature
line.
