Why Choose the ABB GJL1211901R8000 VB6-40-00-80 Mini Reversing Contactor?
The ABB GJL1211901R8000, also known as the VB6-40-00-80, is a compact and reliable 4-pole mini reversing contactor designed for forward and reverse control of three-phase motors in industrial machinery, commercial equipment and building automation systems. As part of the ABB VB6 mini reversing contactor series, it combines mechanically interlocked switching with a space-saving design for dependable directional motor control.
This reversing contactor features four normally open main contacts (4 NO), a 220–240 V AC control coil and screw terminals for secure electrical connections. Its normal mechanical interlock prevents conflicting forward and reverse switching, while the silent coil and switch position indication support reliable operation and convenient status monitoring.
With a rated operational power of 4 kW at 400 V AC-3 and a rated operational current of 9 A at 400 V AC-3, the VB6-40-00-80 is well suited to compact three-phase motor reversing applications. Its integrated provision for rail or wall mounting enables straightforward installation in electrical control panels and machinery where available space is limited.
