SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR IMPROVING RESPONSE TIME OF A BRAKING UNIT

A braking system (110) includes a converter (210), a capacitor (212) coupled to an output of the converter (210), a bridge (214) coupled in parallel to the capacitor (212), and at least one inductor (116) coupled to the bridge (214), an electrically conductive disc (106) disposed proximate to the at...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A braking system (110) includes a converter (210), a capacitor (212) coupled to an output of the converter (210), a bridge (214) coupled in parallel to the capacitor (212), and at least one inductor (116) coupled to the bridge (214), an electrically conductive disc (106) disposed proximate to the at least one inductor (116), and a switching unit controller (216) for commanding the converter (210) to convert a level of voltage supplied therefrom from a first voltage level to a second voltage level and thereby increase energy stored in the capacitor (212), and, upon receiving a brake command, commanding the bridge (214) to ramp-up electrical current in the at least one inductor (216) so as to induce an electromagnetic force on the electrically conductive disc (106).
