The ABB BC6‑30‑10 is a compact 3‑pole miniature contactor designed for switching small to moderate three‑phase AC loads, such as small motors, resistive/inductive loads, and general-purpose circuits. As a mini‑contactor from ABB’s BC6/B6 family, it offers a compact form factor for space‑constrained control panels, automation cabinets, or small motor‑control applications. It features three main normally‑open (NO) contacts for the main circuit and includes one built‑in auxiliary contact (NO) for control or signaling purposes. The coil is typically DC‑operated with low power consumption, making it compatible with PLC outputs or low‑power control circuits. The BC6‑30‑10 is suitable for small motor starts, resistive loads, lighting loads, and other light-to-medium three-phase switching tasks up to its rated current and power.
