The motor braking method that uses the counter torque produced by reversing the connections is known as "plugging" or "plug reversing." In this method, the motor connections are reversed, causing the motor to work against its own rotation, creating a large amount of braking torque to quickly stop the motor. This method provides rapid deceleration, but it can be harsh on mechanical systems due to the abruptness of the stop.
