1. A method for controlling electric motors coupled to an inertial load, the method comprising:

  • controlling a first motor via a first inverter drive in an injection braking regime; and

    controlling a second motor via a second inverter drive in a regenerative braking regime;

    wherein the first and second motor drives are coupled to a common DC bus, and the injection braking regime and the regenerative braking regimes are regulated based upon energy drawn from the DC bus by injection braking and energy fed to the DC bus by regenerative braking.
