Quick Summary

Eaton distribution relay is a feeder control device used to protect and monitor electrical feeds in industrial power systems. Operators often face configuration complexity when coordinating protection across multiple feeders and integrating with SCADA systems. Key certifications to verify include CE marking, SIL capability, and IP-rated enclosure protection, depending on installation location. The EDR-5000-2A0CA0 enables reliable communication via Modbus TCP or DNP3 over Ethernet, while offering flexible I/O and scalable monitoring. This combination delivers safer, more efficient feeder protection, reduces commissioning time, and lowers total cost of ownership for industrial facilities.

Eight inputs and eleven outputs provide flexible control without extra hardware. This expands protection logic, enables precise coordination, and reduces wiring complexity, cutting installation time and potential wiring faults. Ideal for feeder protection in manufacturing lines, data centers, and industrial plants where space and reliability are paramount. Power supply range spans 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, with 50/60 Hz operation. This broad range allows a single device to support diverse plant voltages, lowering spare-part inventories and simplifying procurement. It suits control panels, substations, and mid-size feeders that demand robust, universal power compatibility. Ethernet-based Modbus TCP or DNP3 TCP/UDP over RJ-45 enables seamless integration with existing SCADA and energy-management systems. This supports remote monitoring, fault diagnosis, and centralized protection logic, reducing on-site maintenance windows. Use cases include industrial plants and data centers that rely on standard industrial protocols for reliability. Phase current handling supports 5A and 1A with a dedicated current-sensing input for precise protection coordination. This improves selectivity and reduces nuisance trips while enabling metering for energy management and performance analytics. Typical deployments include feeder protection and power quality monitoring across manufacturing lines. IO options include Trip Coil Monitor IRIG-B and zone-selective interlocking to synchronize protection actions. Time-synched events and accurate interlocking shorten fault localization and minimize unneeded outages. Mounting is semi-flush with removable terminals that simplify field installation and maintenance.
