Why Choose the ABB E290-32-11/230 Latching Relay?
The ABB E290-32-11/230 is a high-current electromechanical latching relay designed for impulse-controlled switching in lighting, building control and electrical distribution applications. Part of the ABB E290 range, it combines a 32 A rated current with one normally open and one normally closed contact, providing complementary switching from a compact DIN rail device.
The E290-32-11/230 operates through short electrical impulses applied to its coil. Each impulse changes the mechanically latched contact position, after which the relay retains its state without requiring continuous coil energisation. This operating principle provides an efficient solution for circuits controlled from several push-button locations.
With a 250 V AC rated operating voltage and 230 V AC / 110 V DC control voltage, this model is suitable for higher-current switching applications where a 1NO + 1NC configuration is required. Its 18 mm modular width provides a space-efficient solution for distribution boards and control panels.

High-Current Impulse Switching with Mechanical Latching
The ABB E290 range uses an electromechanical latching mechanism to provide efficient impulse switching. A brief electrical pulse energises the coil and changes the position of the internal contacts. The contacts are then held mechanically in that position until another control pulse changes their state, avoiding the need to keep the coil continuously energised.
The E290-32-11/230 combines this operating principle with a 32 A rating and complementary 1NO + 1NC contacts. It is particularly useful for lighting and control circuits where switching is required from several locations or where one circuit needs to close as another opens.
Typical Applications
- High-current lighting control circuits.
- Lighting operated from multiple push-button locations.
- Residential and commercial building installations.
- Public buildings and factory premises.
- Industrial electrical installations.
- Complementary load and signalling circuits.
- Electrical distribution boards and control panels.
- DIN rail mounted impulse-control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ABB E290-32-11/230 used for?
The ABB E290-32-11/230 is a 32 A electromechanical latching relay designed for impulse-controlled switching, including lighting and electrical loads controlled from multiple push-button locations.
What is the current rating of the E290-32-11/230?
The E290-32-11/230 has a 32 A rated current and a rated operating voltage of 250 V AC.
What control voltage does the E290-32-11/230 use?
The relay is designed for a 230 V AC / 110 V DC control voltage.
What contact configuration does the E290-32-11/230 have?
This model provides one normally open and one normally closed main contact (1NO + 1NC), allowing complementary switching functions from a single latching relay.
How does the ABB E290-32-11/230 latching relay operate?
A short electrical impulse energises the coil and changes the mechanically latched contact position. The contacts remain in that position without continuous coil energisation until another control impulse switches the relay again.
