Compact decentralised motor starter includes safety functions

Wieland Electric's new podis MS 5HP motor starter offers multiple advantages for decentralised automation in terms of size, safety functions and handling. The podis MS 5HP is believed to be the smallest decentralised motor starter in its power range and also the first decentralised motor starter with IP65 protection and integrated STO (Safe Torque Off) safety function. This motor starter, which can be parameterised without software, is user-friendly during commissioning, operation and maintenance. In addition, it features a sophisticated thermal design that, together with electronic low-wear switching, contributes to a long service life, even with frequent switching cycles.
