Eaton EDR-3000-2C0FB0 Distribution Relay - Fiber Optic RTU

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Fiber optic communication enables secure, interference-free remote monitoring and control, reducing communication outages and enabling rapid fault isolation in distributed networks. This leads to improved uptime and faster restoration of feeders in manufacturing lines and utility-like substations. Application: feed protection in harsh industrial environments where remote diagnostics are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 4 inputs and 4 removable terminals provide flexible wiring and easy field upgrades, shortening installation times and reducing cabling errors. Application: modular feeder protection in new builds or retrofit projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Power supply range of 19-300Vdc and 40-250Vac with 50/60 Hz operation supports diverse plant power architectures, minimizing inventory of power supplies and simplifying spares management. Application: mixed voltage environments and multi-source facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber optic ST delivers standardized, interoperable communications with SCADA or EMS, lowering integration risk and accelerating commissioning. Application: centralized monitoring and remote control. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 5A and 1A current sensing inputs allow precise fault detection and metering without adding external transducers, improving protection accuracy and energy management. Application: precise feeder protection and billing-grade metering. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Zone selective interlocking and removable I/O facilitate fast, selective tripping and simplified maintenance, reducing outage duration and improving safety. Application: substation feeder coordination and maintenance access. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Conformal coating and rugged mechanical design provide reliability in dirty, humid, or temperature-variant environments, lowering field failure rates and service calls. Application: outdoor enclosures or plant floor installations with exposure to dust and moisture. This approach combines protection performance with installation ease, compatibility with PowerPort-E configurations, and proven Eaton reliability for industrial automation projects while addressing common objections about fiber-based architectures and integration timelines.
