64 Planning the electrical installation
Implementing the Safe torque off function
The drive supports the Safe torque off function according to standards
EN 61800-5-2:2007; EN 954-1:1997; IEC/EN 60204-1:1997; EN 61508:2002 and
EN 1037:1996.
The Safe torque off function disables the control voltage of the power semiconductors of
the drive output stage, thus preventing the inverter from generating the voltage required to
rotate the motor (see diagram below). By using this function, short-time operations (like
cleaning) and/or maintenance work on non-electrical parts of the machinery can be
performed without switching off the power supply to the drive.
WARNING! The Safe torque off function does not disconnect the voltage of the
main and auxiliary circuits from the drive. Therefore maintenance work on
electrical parts of the drive or the motor can only be carried out after isolating the
drive system from the main supply.
Note: It is not recommended to stop the drive by using the Safe torque off function. If a
running drive is stopped by using the Safe torque off function, the drive will stop by
coasting. If this causes danger or is not acceptable, the drive and machinery must be
stopped using the appropriate stopping mode before using the Safe torque off function.
