Overview

The ABB VB6-30-01-P80 (SKU: VB6-30-01-P80) is a compact 3-pole mini reversing contactor engineered for space-efficient control of resistive and motor loads up to 690 V AC. This AC-operated contactor features a low-consumption coil rated at 3.5 VA during both pull-in and holding phases, ensuring energy efficiency while maintaining reliable operation. Designed for hum-free performance, it minimizes noise in residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Rated for 4 kW motor power at 400 V AC-3 and capable of handling 8 A at 400 V AC-1 (with ambient temperature θ ≤ 40 °C), this contactor is optimized for three-phase motor loads up to 4 kW. It includes a built-in mechanical interlock to prevent phase-to-phase short circuits, enhancing operational safety. Electrical interlocking and a minimum 50 ms de-energization of coils are required for safe operation, ensuring proper sequencing and preventing unintended reversals. The contact configuration (30-01) complies with Mirror contact requirements as specified in IEC/EN 60947-4-1, providing a reliable solution for reversing motor applications. This model is specifically designed for soldering onto PCB boards, eliminating the need for additional mounting hardware. It does not support the attachment of auxiliary contact blocks externally, streamlining installation in compact panels. Key specifications include a control circuit voltage range of 220-240 V AC, a single auxiliary contact for signaling or control purposes, and a lightweight design weighing 0.150 kg per unit. The compact form factor ensures efficient use of panel space, making it ideal for applications where space is at a premium. ABB's robust construction and precise engineering deliver consistent performance in demanding environments, ensuring long-term reliability.
