Eaton EDR-3000-2A1LA1 Distribution Relay - 5A/1A

Flexible power and universal inputs are at the core of the EDR-3000-2A1LA1, simplifying installation across mixed plant environments. The 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac supply range handles both DC and AC-powered feeders, reducing inventory and wiring diversity while supporting 50/60 Hz operation. This versatility translates into faster commissioning, lower hold-up times for project schedules, and a measurable improvement in uptime for critical lines. Communication capabilities are designed for modern automation ecosystems. Mbus TCP or DNP3 TCP/UDP over LC duplex fiber Ethernet enables remote monitoring, faster fault isolation, and seamless SCADA integration without extensive field wiring. In practice, engineers value the ability to pull current and status data into a centralized historian or HMI, enabling proactive maintenance and smarter protection coordination. Protection and metering are tightly integrated through four inputs and four outputs, plus 1 current sensing input and flexible I/O options like Sensitive Ground Input. This configuration supports precise feeder protection logic and meter-reading accuracy while keeping terminations straightforward for troubleshooting. The removable terminals speed field wiring and de-energization during maintenance, reducing downtime and human error. Mechanical design supports efficient installation in space-constrained panels. Projection mounting provides stable fit in cabinets, and the compact footprint (7.49 in depth, 8.62 in height, 6.82 in width) with a 5.3 lb weight helps planners optimize enclosure layouts. These physical attributes contribute to lower installation labor and easier replacement cycles when upgrading aging protection relays. Warranty and lifecycle support enhance total cost of ownership. Eaton's one-year to eighteen-month warranty window aligns with standard procurement cycles, while the documented protection and data access features reduce maintenance visits and spare-part costs over the relay's lifetime. Together with modular communications, this product supports predictable ROI in critical feeder applications.
