The podis® MS 5HP is the first motor starter with an integrated Safe Torque Off feature that meets SIL 3/PL e requirements and IP65/NEMA 12 protection. The podis® MS 5HP is user-friendly and can cover a broad power range of motors, up to 5 Hp, and offers reliable performance in various applications while reducing storage and administrative costs. It also simplifies maintenance and planning.

What Is Safe Torque Off (STO)?

The podis® MS 5HP integrates STO, a safety feature that completely disconnects the output power with the aid of a safety control system. This function ensures that the motor will not generate torque when actuated.

The podis® MS 5HP STO prevents the output circuits from transmitting power to the motor which stops torque generation. The STO will not allow the motor to produce torque until it receives a reset signal. Further, The STO is separate from the hardware and software of the motor starter, making it fail-safe.
