Classification: CPC H | IPC H

Claim 0:
1. A method comprising:
connecting pairs of phases of an AC power source to pairs of phases of a motor in a first sequence that repeats at a first frequency, wherein connecting pairs of phases of an AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor in the first sequence comprises turning on pairs of switches that connect pairs of phases of the AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor to provide the first sequence; and
braking the motor by connecting pairs of phases of the AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor in a second sequence that is reversed with respect to the first sequence and that repeats at a second frequency less than the first frequency, wherein connecting pairs of phases of the AC power source to pairs of phases of the motor in a second sequence comprises turning on pairs of the switches to provide the second sequence.
