The ABB VE5-2 is a mechanical interlocking accessory designed for use with ABB AX50 to AX80 magnetic contactors. It ensures mechanical interlock between two contactors, preventing them from operating simultaneously. This is critical for applications such as reversing starters or star-delta motor control, where coordinated switching is required for safety and efficiency.
Compatibility: Suitable for ABB AX50…AX80 contactors
Function: Prevents simultaneous operation of paired contactors
Use Case: Ideal for reversing contactor assemblies and star-delta starter circuits
Installation: Front mounting — easy to assemble, no wiring needed
Safety: Helps avoid electrical faults by ensuring safe operation sequence
Durability: Robust mechanical design for industrial environments
Standard Compliance: Conforms to ABB's global safety and performance standards
