Inverter Safety Solution

Product range

Mitsubishi Electric offers one of the most comprehensive line up of inverters available. Whether you just need to save energy with a small motor, or need advanced flux vector control across a network, our family can offer a solution. The safety functions are enabled by an innovative design which allows the gate drive power for our IGBT module to be turned off by an external input. This provides a Safe Torque Off capability when under the control of an appropriate safety controller such as our System Q Safety Relay Module.

Safety function "Safe Torque Off" (STO) according EN 61800-5-2

STO

The "Safe Torque Off" function (STO) disconnects the power from themotor and prevents an unexpected re-start. Thereupon the motor coasts to a halt. Compared to the traditional technology with contactors, this integrated Safety function reduces the effort in hardware, wiring and maintenance and offers higher performance and lifetime.
