ABE7 ABE7R16T230 230V AC Relay Sub-base Schneider

ABE7R16T230 16-Channel Relay Sub-base from Schneider Electric

Product Introduction

The ABE7R16T230 belongs to the Schneider Electric Telefast ABE7 range of connection sub-bases. This unit carries 16 plug-in electromechanical relays on a single base. Specifically, each channel offers one changeover (CO) contact. The coil operates at 230V AC for direct mains-level control signals. Therefore, it suits panels where AC control voltages are standard. Furthermore, an internal 1A fuse protects each channel from overload. Meanwhile, LED indicators show relay status at a glance. Additionally, the ABE7R16T230 mounts on a 35mm DIN rail or a screw panel. As a result, it suits machine control, process automation, and building systems.

Technical Specifications

The ABE7R16T230 delivers flexible switching for industrial control panels. Its key ratings include:

• Number of channels: 16

• Contact type: 1 CO (SPDT) per channel

• Contact rating: 5 A / 250V AC

• Coil voltage: 230V AC

• Protection: 1 A internal fuse per channel, LED status indication

Each output handles up to 5A at 250V AC. Consequently, the relays drive solenoids, lamps, and small contactors directly. Besides, the plug-in design allows fast relay replacement without rewiring. For instance, maintenance crews swap a failed relay in seconds. Moreover, the 230V AC coil matches legacy control circuits and AC output cards. Therefore, the sub-base bridges AC control signals and power-level loads.

Mechanical and Environmental Parameters

The ABE7R16T230 is built for industrial environments. First, its operating temperature range spans -5 to 60 °C. Next, the protection rating reaches IP2X for finger-safe operation. The dimensions measure 88 × 200 × 71 mm (H×W×D). Meanwhile, the weight is about 0.735 kg. The housing accepts wire cross-sections from 0.14 to 2.5 mm² solid and 0.09 to 1.5 mm² flexible. Furthermore, the mechanical life of each plug-in relay reaches 10,000,000 cycles. In addition, the electrical life reaches 100,000 cycles under AC-15. As a result, the unit handles long service intervals.

Installation Guide

Installing the ABE7R16T230 takes only a few steps. First, switch off the power supply and verify zero voltage. Next, clip the sub-base onto a 35mm DIN rail or screw it to a panel. Then, connect the 230V AC coil lines to the input terminals. Besides, wire the field loads to the CO contacts according to your diagram. Moreover, keep power and signal cables separated to reduce noise. Finally, power up the unit and check each LED indicator. However, always follow local electrical codes during wiring. Therefore, a qualified technician should perform the final commissioning.
