Why Choose the ABB E297-16-11/230 Installation Relay?
The ABB E297-16-11/230 is a compact and reliable monostable installation relay designed for switching electrical loads in industrial, commercial and building control applications. As part of the ABB E297 installation relay series, it combines a 16 A contact rating with one normally open and one normally closed contact and a 230 V AC control coil.
The E297 series uses an electromagnetically operated switching mechanism with a quiet control coil and low thermal dissipation. When the coil is energised, the relay changes the state of its contacts and remains operated while control voltage is present. A front-mounted lever enables temporary manual operation while also providing a visual indication of contact position.
With a 16 A rated current, 250 V AC rated operational voltage, 230 V AC control voltage and 1NO+1NC contact configuration, the E297-16-11/230 provides flexible switching for lighting, ventilation and other electrical control circuits. Its compact 18 mm DIN rail format enables straightforward installation in modular distribution boards and control panels.
