Why Choose the ABB E297-16-10/48 Installation Relay?
The ABB E297-16-10/48 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 switching rating with one normally open contact and a 48 V AC/DC control coil.
The E297 series uses an electromagnetically operated switching mechanism controlled by a maintained control signal. When the coil is energised, the relay closes its normally open contact and remains operated while control voltage is present; when the control voltage is removed, the relay returns to its normal state. Its coil is optimised for low switching noise and low power loss, supporting dependable operation in a wide range of electrical installations.
With a 16 A rated current, 250 V AC contact voltage, 48 V AC/DC control voltage and 1NO contact configuration, the E297-16-10/48 is well suited to lighting, ventilation, air-conditioning and similar control circuits. Its compact 18 mm DIN rail format enables straightforward integration into modular distribution boards and control panels.

Reliable Switching for Electrical Installations
Monostable installation relays such as the ABB E297-16-10/48 provide electrically controlled switching for loads that need to remain active while a maintained control signal is applied. Energising the 48 V AC/DC coil closes the normally open contact, while removing the control voltage automatically returns the contact to its normal open position.
The E297 series is designed for modular electrical installations and combines quiet switching with a compact DIN rail enclosure. Its 16 A switching capability and dual AC/DC control-voltage compatibility make the E297-16-10/48 a practical choice for building services and industrial control applications.
Typical Applications
- Lighting control circuits.
- Ventilation and fan switching.
- Air-conditioning control systems.
- Commercial and public building installations.
- Industrial electrical control panels.
- DIN rail distribution boards and automation systems.
