Eaton Distribution Relay EDR-5000-2A0DB0 - Profibus-DP over Fiber Optic

The EDR-5000-2A0DB0 delivers broad electrical compatibility with a wide power supply range of 19-300Vdc and 40-250Vac, enabling panel designers to standardize on a single relay across mixed feeders, reducing stocking and commissioning time. This capability translates to lower total cost of ownership while simplifying installation in diverse plant environments. With 8 inputs and 11 outputs and removable terminals, the unit supports rapid wiring changes and straightforward reconfiguration for evolving protection schemes, boosting upfront engineering efficiency and minimizing field downtime. Current sensing inputs configured at 1 channel and phase currents of 5A and 1A enable precise protection coordination, facilitating selective tripping and reduced arc-flash exposure in high-energy systems. Profibus-DP communication over fiber optic ST ensures EMI-resistant, reliable data exchange with PLCs and SCADA systems, improving visibility and remote diagnostics for ongoing maintenance. The device also carries conformal-coated circuit boards, enhancing reliability in harsh industrial environments and extending service life in dusty or humid installations. Zone selective interlocking (ZSI) of 1 augments fast fault isolation, which cuts downtime and damage to downstream equipment, a critical advantage for large feeders. The semi-flush mounting method and removable terminals simplify panel installation and future upgrades, supporting modular expansion without major cabinet redesign. I/O options like IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor provide precise timing coordination for protection schemes and event logging, aiding root-cause analysis after faults.
