Why Choose the ABB GHV2501902R0002 RV-BC6/60 Surge Suppressor?
The ABB GHV2501902R0002, also known as the RV-BC6/60, is a compact varistor surge suppressor designed to protect DC-operated contactor control circuits against transient overvoltages generated when the contactor coil is switched. It is an ABB contactor accessory intended for use with compatible mini contactors and provides a simple, reliable method of reducing potentially damaging voltage spikes in industrial control systems.
The RV-BC6/60 is designed for 24–60 V DC control circuits and uses varistor technology to suppress switching transients across the contactor coil. By limiting these transient voltages, the suppressor helps protect surrounding control electronics, PLC outputs and other sensitive components while reducing electrical interference generated during contactor operation.
Designed for use with compatible ABB B6 and B7 mini contactors, the GHV2501902R0002 features a screw-terminal connection for straightforward installation. Its compact accessory format integrates with the contactor without unnecessarily increasing the overall control-panel footprint, making it suitable for machine control, automation and industrial electrical installations.

Reliable Surge Suppression for Contactor Control Circuits
When a DC contactor coil is de-energised, the collapsing magnetic field can generate a high transient voltage. A varistor surge suppressor such as the ABB RV-BC6/60 limits this transient by providing voltage-dependent suppression across the coil, helping prevent excessive voltage from reaching connected control equipment.
Effective coil suppression is particularly valuable in automated machinery where contactors are controlled by PLCs, relays or electronic output modules. Installing the GHV2501902R0002 on a compatible ABB mini contactor can help reduce electrical interference and protect control components while supporting reliable switching performance.
Typical Applications
- ABB B6 and B7 mini contactor installations.
- Industrial motor control panels.
- PLC-controlled contactor circuits.
- Machine automation systems.
