To prevent overtravel of the landing gear, a dynamic brake relay within the relay box simultaneously breaks the power circuit to the motor winding in use and makes a complete circuit through the armature and the unused field winding. This causes the motor to act as a ’generator’ and the resultant electrical load on the armature stops the gear almost instantly. 2, record 4, English, - overtravel
