Eaton EDR-5000-2A0BB1 Distribution Relay - RS485 Modbus
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A0BB1
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A0BB1 provides advanced feeder protection and metering for electrical distribution systems. Operators and engineers often struggle with configuring protection logic and remote diagnostics across multiple feeders, leading to longer commissioning times and higher risk of misconfiguration. Key certifications in this class typically include CE marking and rugged environmental compliance, with many deployments also expecting IP ratings and SIL-capable implementations—consult Eaton for exact certification on this model. By combining Modbus RTU over RS-485 with a wide power-supply range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac), this device enables seamless, cost-effective feeder protection and remote monitoring across industrial sites.

FAQs
The EDR-5000-2A0BB1 uses removable terminals and a projection mounting method, enabling faster wiring and secure installation in standard feeder cabinets. Plan for RS-485 connectivity and ensure the power supply source matches 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac as required by the site. This setup minimizes panel space and simplifies maintenance access, reducing commissioning time by days in large installations.
This model supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, enabling straightforward integration with existing SCADA and energy-management systems. If you require remote diagnostics or multi-vendor interoperability, use the RS-485 network to consolidate protection data, alarms, and metering into a single supervisory platform.
The device operates from 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac at 50/60 Hz and provides 8 inputs with 11 outputs. Phase currents are rated at 5 A and 1 A, supporting accurate protection and metering. With conformal-coated boards and 8/11 I/O, the relay fits most industrial protection schemes while maintaining robust field performance.
The model is designed for rugged industrial use and aligns with common CE-compliant practices. Exact SIL capability and IP rating for this specific variant should be confirmed with Eaton, as these certifications vary by model configuration. For regulated environments, verify the certification scope before deployment to ensure full regulatory compliance.
By consolidating protection, metering, and time-synchronized interlocking in a single device, the EDR-5000-2A0BB1 reduces panel space, simplifies wiring, and lowers maintenance costs. Its RS-485 communications enable remote monitoring and faster fault isolation, which translates to shorter downtime, improved reliability, and lower total cost of ownership across feeder networks.
