Abstract (en)

An elevator safety system (50) comprising an elevator safety chain comprising safety contacts and a safety output (1001), a converter unit (30) connected to and configured to operate an elevator motor (20), wherein the converter unit (30) comprises a safety input (31) to prevent generation of torque in the motor (20). The safety system (50) also comprises a brake contactor or relay (40) comprising at least one auxiliary contact (C2_AUX, C3_AUX) configured to operate together with a primary contact (C2, C3) of the brake contactor or relay (40) which is in connection with the safety output (1001) and configured to operate based on the status thereof. Furthermore, the auxiliary contact (C2 AUX, C3_AUX) of the brake contactor or relay (40) is configured to control the operation of the safety input (31) of the converter unit (30) so that the generation of torque is prevented during a safety shutdown.
