Bistable relay 24VAC/12VDC 1NO+1NC 16A EPN518

Bistable relay for a wide range of applications

The Hager EPN518 bistable relay is a reliable solution for controlling electrical circuits where maintaining the switching state is required without continuous power consumption. It is ideal for applications requiring remote control, building automation or alarm systems. Thanks to its DIN rail mounting, installation is quick and convenient in distribution boards.

Characteristics and application

This relay combines the function of a mechanical switch with the advantages of bistability – i.e. maintaining the state after the control signal disappears. It has one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact, allowing for flexible circuit configuration. It supports both AC (24V) and DC (12V) control voltage, increasing its versatility. The maximum switching current of 16A (at cos φ = 0.6) allows control of various receivers, from lighting to heating devices. Manual operation is an additional advantage in the event of testing or emergency circuit switching.

Advantages and benefits

• Bistability: Maintaining the switching state after the control voltage disappears – energy saving and reliable operation.
• Universal control voltage: Supports both AC 24V and DC 12V – flexibility in choosing the control source.
• DIN rail mounting: Quick and easy installation in electrical distribution boards – saves installer time.
• High switching capacity: Maximum switching current of 16A – allows control of various receivers.
• Manual operation: Enables testing and emergency circuit switching – increased safety and control.
• Wide range of applications: Ideal for building automation, alarm systems, remote control and other applications requiring reliable switching without continuous power consumption.
• Compliance with standards: Ensures safe and compliant electrical installation.
• Compact dimensions: Width of 17.5 modules facilitates integration with existing installations.

The EPN518 relay is characterized by DIN rail mounting, functions as a mechanical switch and has an installation depth of 63 mm. Its width is 17.5 modules, and the control voltages are 24V AC and 12V DC. The rated switching current is 16A, and the relay has one normally open (NO) and one normally closed (NC) contact.
