Auxiliary brake sets had been widely used for heavy duty trucks and advanced buses. They played a role of split-flow braking load of main brake system. As one of auxiliary brake sets eddy current retarder had good braking performance and braking stability, and it is automotive and maintain constant speed by its continual braking. In this paper, key technologies of eddy current retarder, such as braking torque, working volt and current, magnetic circuit, material of rotor plate and iron, heat dissipation performance of rotor plate, match between eddy current retarded and automobile, and effect of temperature rise on its braking performance were presented and discussed in detail. Meanwhile, advantage and disadvantage of eddy current retarder were analyzed.
