Braking device for an electric motor, electrical apparatus provided with the braking device, and a method of braking

摘要

A braking device for an electric motor of a power tool has a short circuit switch for short circuiting an armature winding of the electric motor during a braking process, the short circuit switch for controlling its switch condition having a control input, a control unit connected with the control input of the short circuit switch for performing a phase control of the short circuit switching during the braking process in order to avoid brush fire; also an electrical device with such a braking device and a braking method are proposed as well.
