German term

generatorische Bremse

German to English Tech/Engineering
What kind of brakes are "generatorische Bremse"? (linked to drive and electricity. This is as against "Magnetschienenbremse" and "Mechanbremse"). TIA to any layman-understandable explanations.

generator brakes

I can't find generatorische Bremsen anywhere, but my tech dico gives generator brakes for Generatorbremsen. Maybe it's the same thing. The reference is to brakes for a transrapid train.

Acceleration and regular braking of the vehicle is performed by the propulsion system, a synchronous longstator linear motor. In addition to these generator brakes, the braking function of the vehicle is assured by the modular eddy-current brakes. The individual eddy-current braking magnets act on the guidance rails of the guideway and guarantee the braking of the vehicle.

disagree foehnerk (X) : Normally referred to as regenerative braking; the regeneneration takes place when power flows back to the supply. Only drives capable of four quadrant operation are able to brake regeneratively. Traction drives, as used on trains are ideally suited.
