Why Choose the ABB VM300/460H Mechanical Interlock Unit?

The ABB 1SFN035100R1000, manufacturer designation VM300/460H, is a purpose-designed mechanical interlock unit for two horizontally mounted ABB contactors of different ratings. It physically prevents both contactors from closing simultaneously, supporting safe operation in reversing, changeover and transfer-control circuits.

As a genuine ABB contactor accessory, the VM300/460H provides direct mechanical coordination between compatible contactors. Its interlocking action operates independently of the electrical control circuit and can be used with compatible AC-operated or DC-operated contactors.

The VM300/460H is suitable for specified ABB AF265 to AF460 and AFS265 to AFS460 block contactors when selected according to ABB’s compatibility tables. Its horizontal mounting arrangement makes it practical for coordinated switching assemblies where differently rated contactors must not operate together.

Key Advantages

  • Provides mechanical interlocking between two contactors.
  • Prevents simultaneous closing of the interlocked contactors.
  • Designed for horizontally mounted contactor assemblies.
  • Supports compatible contactors of different ratings.
  • Suitable for compatible AC-operated and DC-operated contactors.
  • Genuine ABB accessory for dependable mechanical integration.

Key Features

  • ABB VM300/460H mechanical interlock series.
  • VM300/460H manufacturer designation.
  • Designed to mechanically interlock two contactors.
  • Horizontal contactor mounting arrangement.
  • Purely mechanical interlocking operation.
  • Suitable for specified ABB AF contactors.
  • Suitable for specified ABB AFS contactors.
  • Compact dimensions of 123.6 × 70 × 50 mm.

Reliable Mechanical Interlocking for Contactor Assemblies

Mechanical interlocks create a physical link between two contactors so that closing one prevents the other from closing. This provides additional protection in circuits where simultaneous switching could cause conflicting power connections or unsafe equipment operation.

The ABB VM300/460H is designed for applications combining compatible contactors of different ratings. It can complement electrical interlocking within the control circuit while continuing to provide physical separation independently of the contactor control supply.

Typical Applications

  • Forward and reverse motor starters.
  • Power-supply changeover assemblies.
  • Transfer and switching control panels.
  • Industrial motor-control centres.
  • Mixed-rating contactor assemblies.
  • OEM automation and power-control equipment.
