Motoring Mode
Back emf, E
g
is < supply voltage V
a

Both I
a
and I
f
are positive
14
Regenerative Braking Mode
Motor acts as a Generator
E
g
becomes > supply Voltage V
a

I
a
becomes negative
Field Terminals Reversed
15
Dynamic Braking
Replace the supply voltage with a resistor
Power dissipated in the resistor rather than given back to
the source
16
Plugging
Reverse the armature terminals while running
V
a
and E
g
act in the same direction
I
a
is reversed, producing braking torque
