An idiot and his table saw...
Somebody wrote:
A modification can be made to table saws with induction or split
phase motors. You change the power switch from SPST to SPDT, add a
diode & electrolytic capacitor that charges when the motor is
running.
When you switch the motor off, the capacitor discharges through the
motor, causing a rapid braking effect. This can't be done with
universal motors, since they will run on DC.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Otherwise known as dynamic braking.
Usually involves a DC power supply and a mechanically interlocked
motor starter and a DC contactor along with a time delay relay.
Normally used on three phase motors and requires a motor designed
for the application.
Will usually rip the stator out of the housing of a standard NEMA,
Design B motor without additional pegging.
An expensive solution at best, have never seen one on a single phase
motor, doubt a capacitor large enough to stop a single phase load
would
even come close to offering a cost effective solution.
