PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF DYNAMIC BRAKING RESISTOR SPECIFICATION FOR A PAPER ROLL LOWERATOR
The officers of the Oregon/SW Washington Chapter of the Industry Applications Society invite you to join us Wednesday evening, May 20, 2026, for our dinner, meeting, and technical presentation. We appreciate the support of all who attend our dinners and presentations. We will be meeting at our “home base” MEGI Engineering in Lake Oswego. This location is easy to access by car from the Interstate 5 Kruse Way/Lake Oswego exits. Ample free parking and entrance at the West side of the building.
The cost for dinner is $20 with food from Honey Baked Ham. There is no charge to attend the presentation only. Our IAS Chapter always offers free dinners for local PSU, OSU, George Fox, U of P, OIT and WSUV Electrical Engineering Students who attend our meetings. This is an excellent networking opportunity for students as our meetings are attended by many professionals in consulting, industrial engineering, and electrical equipment manufacturing.

PRACTICAL EXAMPLE OF DYNAMIC BRAKING RESISTOR SPECIFICATION FOR A PAPER ROLL LOWERATOR
Abstract: Specifying a dynamic braking resistor is a collaboration of design among the motor, ASD, control system, and the resistor itself. This presentation examines a practical example of the specification and sizing steps of a dynamic braking resistor applied to an ASD, as well as the acceleration and duration controls. The author will review application of a paper mill roll handling replacement project, outlining control changes made during commissioning.
Presenter: Sean P. Murphy, Electrical Department Lead, MEGI Engineering, Inc. Lake Oswego, Oregon
