FAQs

Plan for projection mounting and ensure removable terminals are accessible for maintenance. The unit provides 4 inputs and 4 outputs, accepts 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac supply, and supports RS-485 communication. Allow space for wiring harnesses, verify proper grounding, and coordinate IRIG-B option if time-synced operations are needed. This setup minimizes commissioning time and simplifies field adjustments.
The EDR-3000-2C1GA1 uses RS-485 to deliver Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU protocols, enabling remote monitoring, SCADA integration, and centralized data collection. This supports efficient feeder status reads, setpoint adjustments, and fault reporting without onsite access. Ensure your master device references the correct addressing scheme and configure baud rate and parity to match your network topology.
The model provides robust protection features and flexible IO, suitable for many industrial panels. Exact environmental ratings, IP protection, and SIL capabilities require confirmation from Eaton, as indicated by the Compliances field. Plan for regional regulatory checks and validate installation conditions with Eaton to ensure alignment with your plant’s harsh-environment requirements.
Validate the power supply range (19–300 Vdc, 40–250 Vac) and frequency (50/60 Hz), as well as current sensing input configuration (1 input) and phase current options (5A or 1A). Confirm certifications with Eaton for CE, IP ratings, or SIL capabilities, since the datasheet notes Compliance as Contact Manufacturer. Also verify installation standards for projection mounting and terminal accessibility.
ROI comes from reduced wiring complexity with 4 IO channels, improved protection selectivity reducing nuisance trips, and remote visibility via Modbus/DNP3 communications. Faster commissioning and easier maintenance lower labor costs, while enhanced reliability reduces downtime. In retrofit scenarios, the consolidation of protection and metering into a single device often shortens project timelines and extends asset life.
