General Electric 6VOC81A1 Corded On Off Rheostat Control Station

General Electric 6VOC81A1 Corded On Off Rheostat Control Station is a corded electrical control device that combines an on/off switch with a rheostat to regulate circuit resistance. The GE model 6VOC81A1 designation identifies the unit and brand, indicating a dual-function control in a single enclosure. In operation, a user can toggle power to a connected load while adjusting the resistance in the circuit path, enabling variable control of current flow without rearranging separate components. As a rheostat, the device provides a variable resistance rather than a fixed value, allowing tuning of performance characteristics in systems that use resistance-based control. The integrated design reduces wiring complexity by housing both functions together, delivering a compact, single-assembly control option.
