    On http://www.tvdr.de/sim/3/brakes.htm I am describing a method by which the power required to keep the brakes open can be reduced by a factor of 4. This reduces both the temperature of the brake coils as well as the load on the 24V power supply. Just in case somebody is interested.

    Hi Klaus,

    I want to use your system for power saving.
    Has it proved to be reliable?

    regards,

    Rolf
