Regenerative Breaking
This method is used when speeds below the no-load speed are
required. As the supply voltage is normally constant, the voltage
across the armature is varied by inserting a variable rheostat in series
with the armature circuit.

In regenerative mode, the energy of the load fed to the supply
system. DC motor works as a generator during this mode.
When chopper is off, load voltage is greater than the supply voltage
and energy stored in the inductance is fed back to the supply system.
The energy storage interval is
Duty interval is
The average output voltage Va is
In this mode, the motor disconnected from the source and
connected across the resistor Rb. The generated energy is
dissipated in Rb and Ra.
