Does the AC motor stop/start very quickly? If you turn off the power to it and it keeps turning, maybe this holds the relay on a bit longer! I suggest you have a separate relay for the motor and the brake.

Remember a motor is a generator! This is basic electromagnetism!



I wish I had thought of that, I think you have hit the most likely cause.

Now, here comes the sad part, I suggested yesterday morning that Kaz put 2 meters on, which would have shown the above, if, indeed, that is the cause, has Kaz done so? - not to my knowledge. It is frustrating to give advice and see it ignored.
