OVERHAULING LOADS In the case of overhauling loads, both the kinetic energy of the linear and rotating loads and the potential energy transformed into kinetic energy by the change in height must be considered. The potential energy transformed to kinetic energy is determined as follows:
Therefore, the total energy to be absorbed by the brake in stopping an overhauling load is:
In general, a brake will repetitively stop a load at the duty cycle that the electric motor can repetitively start the load. For rotating or linear loads, the rate at which a brake is required to absorb and dissipate heat when frequently cycled is determined as follows: 
For overhauling loads the rate at which the brake is required to absorb and dissipate heat when frequently cycled is determined as follows:
