Eaton distribution relay EDR-3000-2A1IA0 - RS-485, Ethernet

Four inputs and four outputs with removable terminals enable flexible protection schemes and simplify field wiring. This reduces panel wiring time and improves fault coverage, translating to lower commissioning costs. It is ideal for feeder protection in switchgear and distribution panels where channelized monitoring is needed. Wide power supply range (19-300 VDC, 40-250 VAC) eliminates the need for multiple power sources in mixed environments. The business impact is a smaller inventory footprint and easier integration with existing plant power rails, leading to lower total cost of ownership. This capability is particularly valuable in retrofit projects and new builds that require flexible power options. RS-485 Modbus RTU and Ethernet RJ-45 provide robust communications for SCADA, DCS, and energy management systems. The benefit is faster fault diagnosis, remote configuration, and integrated metering, reducing downtime and improving process reliability. Applications include feeder supervisory control and remote monitoring across distributed automation networks. Current sensing inputs (1) and phase current options (5A, 1A) support accurate protection and metering without extra hardware. The result is precise fault thresholds, energy accounting, and improved compliance reporting. This package is well-suited for optimized protection schemes in data centers, manufacturing lines, and utility feeders. Semi-flush mounting and removable terminals streamline installation and maintenance in crowded panels. The device also supports Sensitive Ground Input and zone selective interlocking (0) for selective feeder coordination. These features reduce commissioning risk and facilitate future expansions in evolving facilities. Warranty follows Eaton policy and offers a balanced risk profile for integrators and end users.
