Is it a requirement to equip the elevator with a braking system?

Explain how the elevator brake works?

When the elevator speed increases too much (above one meter per second), the tow wire, which is mounted by a lever on the governor plate, activates the governor.

The bottom of the well, the towing wire, the elevator, the governor, the elevator, the parachute, the safety contacts
