The EDR-5000-2A0EA1 supports robust feeder protection with eight inputs and eleven outputs, enabling comprehensive current protection and metering for power systems. This translates to a measurable reduction in nuisance trips and faster fault isolation, which directly boosts machine availability in manufacturing and process environments. Its Profibus-DP over D-SUB / RS-485 communication enables seamless integration into existing control architectures, reducing wiring complexity and commissioning time while improving data transparency for remote monitoring. With a wide power supply range (19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac) and a 50/60 Hz frequency rating, it accommodates diverse plant electrical environments, improving reliability and simplifying spare parts planning. The IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor option enhances time synchronization accuracy for critical protection schemes, supporting precise coordination in multi-feeder installations. Zone selective interlocking and a projection mounting method further streamline installation and upgrade projects, delivering faster deployment and reduced maintenance costs. The device’s 8 inputs and 11 outputs, along with removable terminals, facilitate quick field wiring and easier retrofits in legacy panels, while the compact footprint minimizes cabinet space usage. Warranty terms and ongoing Eaton support provide assurance for lifecycle management and long-term total cost of ownership reductions.

FAQs

To install the EDR-5000-2A0EA1, mount using the projection method and connect the removable terminals for fast field wiring. Ensure the supply is within 19-300Vdc or 40-250Vac and that the control network uses Profibus-DP over D-SUB or RS-485. The device has eight inputs and eleven outputs, so plan wiring to match protection and metering functions. Power up and configure using Eaton's recommended programming workflow, verify zone selective interlocking if applicable, and test the Trip Coil Monitor option if installed.
Key specs include dual supply ranges 19-300Vdc and 40-250Vac, with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating, and current sensing inputs of 1. The feeder protection scheme supports 5A and 1A phase currents, with 8 inputs and 11 outputs to cover protection, metering, and signaling. The device supports Profibus-DP over RS-485 for robust communication and has an IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor option for precise timing in critical installations.
Yes. The EDR-5000-2A0EA1 includes Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) capability, which helps coordinate tripping across multiple feeders and minimizes electrical disturbances. For large networks, pair this with its reliable Profibus-DP communication and the 8/11 I/O configuration to ensure fast, selective protection, improving overall system reliability and reducing downstream outage impact.
Certification details are region-dependent and provided by the manufacturer. The product documentation notes general compliance and recommends validating regional approvals with Eaton. For safety, reliability, and regulatory alignment, request current CE, IP rating, and SIL-related documentation from Eaton or your distributor to confirm fit for your specific application and environment.
The upgrade supports improved uptime through precise protection and fast fault isolation, reduces wiring and commissioning time via Profibus-DP integration, and offers easier maintenance with removable terminals and a compact footprint. With zone selective interlocking and advanced metering, users can optimize protection coordination and energy monitoring, delivering a favorable ROI through reduced downtime, lower spares costs, and improved asset protection.
