FAQs
Install the EDR-5000-2A0FA1 using projection mounting on a standard control panel and take advantage of removable terminals for straightforward wiring. Ensure a supply within 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac is available, and configure communication with Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber for robust, long-distance monitoring and control.
The relay supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber optic ST, enabling secure, EMI-resistant remote communication. Configuration is typically performed via the base EDR software or compatible SCADA integrations, with fiber communications helping ensure data integrity in noisy environments and across longer distances.
Yes. The device provides current protection and metering alongside voltage protection and metering, with 8 inputs and 11 outputs to support complex protection schemes. Its fiber communication improves data reliability for feeder protection, while the integrated metering capabilities support energy monitoring and reporting for optimization.
The product carries Eaton's standard warranty per policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This provides coverage for manufacturing defects and support during initial field deployment, with standard service options available through Eaton or authorized distributors.
This model is based on the EDR-5000 base, featuring 8 inputs and 11 outputs, a 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac power range, and projection mounting with removable terminals. Ensure fiber-based Modbus or DNP3 RTU integration is available, verify zone selective interlocking needs, and confirm that protection and metering requirements align with the relay’s sensing inputs.
