Why Choose the ABB E297-16-11/8 Installation Relay?
The ABB E297-16-11/8 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 and one normally closed contact and an 8 V AC control coil.
The E297 series uses an electromechanical switching mechanism operated by a maintained control voltage. When the coil is energised, the relay changes the state of its contacts and remains operated while the control voltage is present; when the control voltage is removed, the relay automatically returns to its normal state. The series features a low-noise coil optimised for low power loss and dependable operation in modular electrical installations.
With a 16 A rated current, 250 V AC contact voltage, 8 V AC control voltage and 1NO+1NC contact configuration, the E297-16-11/8 provides flexible switching for lighting, ventilation and other compatible electrical circuits. Its compact 18 mm DIN rail format enables straightforward integration into electrical distribution boards and control panels.
