Motor braking ? Better not

A very intereting study from MGM Compro mgm-compro.com

Braking can be one of the causes of damage or a complete destruction of a controller. This kind of controller destruction is not as obvious as for example battery reverse polarity, and thus it is necessary to explain it in more detail. If you get familiar with the braking mechanism, it will be easier to prevent problems. Controller's „survival“ of braking depends on numerous factors. To start with, it is the used motor, revolutions, model (its weight), gearing, quality and condition of a feeding battery and also of conductors and connectors. Intensity of braking is also very significant. These are all conditions that can be hardly affected by the controller........
