WESTINGHOUSE 1490460 L-60

Description:

The Westinghouse 1490460 L-60 is an inboard contactor/starter interlock assembly designed for use with Westinghouse motor starters and contactors. This interlock mechanism prevents two contactors from being energized simultaneously, providing safe and reliable operation in reversing starter, transfer control, and motor control applications. It is commonly installed in motor control centers, industrial control panels, and automation systems where electrical and mechanical interlocking is required to prevent conflicting contactor operation. The 1490460 is identified as a Type Inboard L-60 interlock assembly.

Applications:

The Westinghouse 1490460 L-60 interlock is commonly used in reversing motor starter circuits, conveyor systems, pumps, compressors, hoists, and industrial machinery requiring forward/reverse motor control. It is installed between paired contactors to prevent simultaneous closure, helping protect motors and electrical equipment from damage caused by opposing contactor operation. The interlock is suitable for industrial motor control systems utilizing compatible Westinghouse starter and contactor assemblies.
