Eaton distribution relay EDR-3000-2A1FB1 - Fiber Optic Modbus/DNP3 RTU

Wide power supply range and universal fit reduce panel variants and stocking needs, enabling faster commissioning and fewer spare parts. Business impact: lower installation time and maintenance costs across mixed-volt environments; Application: feeder protection in plants with diverse power sources, including 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac supply rails. This model supports 4 inputs and 4 outputs with removable terminals, offering flexible wiring and straightforward field upgrades. Impact: streamlined wiring and easier diagnostics; Application: modular protection schemes and metering in evolving facilities. Communication is via Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber optic ST, delivering secure, low-latency remote access and integration with SCADA and protection relays. Impact: improved data integrity and fault reporting; Application: centralized monitoring for distribution networks. Conformal coating and rugged projection mounting enhance reliability in cabinets and harsh environments, reducing maintenance cycles. Impact: higher mean time between failures; Application: harsh industrial and outdoor installations. The unit’s current sensing inputs (one set) and defined phase currents (5 A and 1 A) support precise protection and metering, enabling better coordination with upstream and downstream protection schemes. Impact: tighter coordination and reduced nuisance trips; Application: motor feeders and critical process lines. Additional design attributes, such as the base relay (EDR-3000), sensitive ground input I/O options, and fiber-based communication, align with modern protection architectures, delivering faster fault isolation and easier retrofits in existing installations.
