I would like to know if 3 ph capacitors connected in parallel to a induction motor (3/4HP 208V,460V)can brake the motor to a stop after the power is turned off to the motor?
The capacitors will induce a DC current into the motor. I have been told that this method is used in Europe. We do NOT want a safety braking system. Once the motor has been stopped, the motor must be able to be rotated by hand.
Has anyone used this method and what are the calculations for selecting the size of Capacitors.
