Plugging consists in a reversal of phase sequence of the supply voltage,
which is easily accomplished by interchanging any two supply leads of the motor. This results in reverse rotation of the magnetic field in the motor; the slip becomes greater than unity and the developed torque tries to force the motor to rotate in the opposite direction. If only stopping of the drive is required, the motor should be disconnected from the power line at about the instant of zero speed.
Plugging is quite a harsh operation, because both the kinetic energy of the drive and input electric energy must be dissipated in the motor, mostly in the rotor. This braking method can be compared to shifting a transmission into reverse to slow down a running car. The total heat produced in the rotor is approximately three times the initial energy of the drive system. Therefore, plugging must be employed with caution to
avoid thermal damage to the rotor. Low-inertia drives and motors with high rotor resistance and, therefore, with a large high-slip torque (see Figure 2.17) are the best candidates for effective plugging.
which is only two-thirds of the rated torque, while the stator current is 6.6 times the rated value. The maximum braking torque using this method occurs at zero speed and equals the starting torque

Can u explain : what is supply for train (whether a,c or d.c ).I know that supply is 25000v a.c .But there is rumour that supply is D.C. And also explain how lights and fans inside the trains are working ,and what type of motors are used in trains whether D.C motors or induction motors .If d.c motor, how it gets supply.If traction motors are used then what are traction motors and its functions and how it differs from other motors and also explain about locomotive . y d.c series motor in train.train wheels r driven by D.C shunt motor ,at what voltage,and at what speed. please reply..............
