A apparatus and method for operating an electromagnetic elevator brake during a mains power disruption or emergency stop includes the steps of providing an uninterruptible power supply in a power circuit arranged in parallel to a brake coil and repeatedly opening and closing the power circuit during the mains power disruption or emergency stop. In comparison to the conventional braking during power disruption, the periodic or staggered braking provided by repeatedly opening and closing the power circuit greatly extends the time taken to bring the elevator to a halt. Accordingly, passengers will feel less discomfort when the elevator is braked automatically during power disruption.
