Leviton Telcom 560MF9WLEV 60A Mechanical Interlock

Product Description

The LEVITON TELCOM 560MF9WLEV is a 60-amp mechanical interlock designed to prevent simultaneous engagement of two circuit positions, providing a critical safety function in electrical panel and wiring device applications. Mechanical interlocks physically block two breakers or switching devices from being in the active position at the same time, reducing the risk of back-feed and accidental energization during transfer or switching operations. This unit is sold individually and is intended for installation by licensed electricians working with panel-level switching systems.

The 560MF9WLEV is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where a hard-wired mechanical interlock is required between two circuit positions. Typical installations include generator transfer switch panels, dual-feed service entrance equipment, and similar configurations where regulatory or code requirements mandate that two power sources cannot be connected simultaneously. It falls under the fiber optic hardware and connectivity category per supplier classification, though its primary function is as a panel-level electrical safety interlock device.

Key Features

• 60-amp rated mechanical interlock for panel switching applications
• Prevents simultaneous engagement of two circuit positions for back-feed protection
• Sold as an individual unit (quantity of one per package)
• Hard-wired mechanical design requires no external power or control signal

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style mechanical interlock replacement or new-installation component for 60-amp electrical panel and switching device applications. Verify fitment against your specific panel or device model before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize and lock out the panel or switching device before installing or servicing a mechanical interlock. Do not force the interlock mechanism, as improper installation can compromise its safety function. Confirm the interlock is correctly seated and operates smoothly before restoring power.
