1SFN034700R1000 ABB VM300H Mechanical Interlock Unit
ABB 1SFN034700R1000 VM300H is a mechanical interlock unit that prevents simultaneous operation of two compatible horizontally mounted AC-operated or DC-operated contactors.
Why Choose the ABB VM300H Mechanical Interlock Unit?
The ABB 1SFN034700R1000, manufacturer designation VM300H, is a purpose-designed mechanical interlock unit used to interlock two horizontally mounted contactors. It mechanically prevents both contactors from closing simultaneously, supporting safe and dependable operation in reversing, changeover and transfer-control circuits.
As a genuine ABB contactor accessory, the VM300H is designed for direct mechanical coordination between compatible contactors. Its purely mechanical interlocking action does not depend on the contactor control voltage, allowing it to work with both AC-operated and DC-operated contactors.
The VM300H can mechanically interlock two compatible contactors of the same or different ratings when installed according to ABB’s contactor compatibility tables. Its horizontal mounting arrangement makes it suitable for coordinated switching assemblies where simultaneous contactor operation must be prevented.
Key Advantages
Provides mechanical interlocking between two contactors.
Prevents both contactors from closing at the same time.
Suitable for horizontally mounted contactor assemblies.
Compatible with both AC-operated and DC-operated contactors.
Supports contactors of the same or different ratings where approved by ABB.
Genuine ABB accessory for dependable mechanical integration.

VM300H manufacturer designation.
Designed to interlock two contactors.
Horizontal contactor mounting arrangement.
Purely mechanical interlocking operation.
Suitable for AC-operated contactors.
Suitable for DC-operated contactors.

Reliable Mechanical Interlocking for Contactor Assemblies
Mechanical interlocks create a physical link between two contactors so that closing one contactor prevents the other from closing. This provides an additional layer of protection in circuits where simultaneous switching could cause conflicting phase connections or unsafe equipment operation.
The ABB VM300H is suited to reversing starters, electrical changeover systems and other coordinated switching arrangements. It can complement electrical interlocking within the control circuit while continuing to provide physical contactor separation independently of the control supply.
Typical Applications
Forward and reverse motor starters.
Power-supply changeover assemblies.
Transfer and switching control panels.
Industrial motor-control centres.
Machinery direction-control systems.
OEM automation and power-control equipment.
