Soft starters from Siemens feature integrated Safe Torque Off function

August 13, 2020 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

motor starter

The SIRIUS 3RW55 Failsafe soft starters from Siemens are the first to feature the integrated Safe Torque Off (STO) function. This ensures that the motor comes to a complete standstill if an operator initiates an emergency shutdown. The motor then remains in this state until the restart interlock is used to restart it. Another important […]
