Eaton EDR-5000-2A0FB0 Distribution Relay - Modbus RTU
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A0FB0
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A0FB0 provides intelligent feeder protection for industrial electrical networks. Engineers often struggle with coordinating protective actions and timely fault reporting across feeders, which can lead to unexpected outages and difficult fault isolation. Certification status varies by region; verify CE marking, IP ratings for enclosures, and SIL readiness with the manufacturer. With Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber and 8 inputs/11 outputs, the unit supports scalable protection schemes, accurate metering, and remote monitoring. This translates to reduced downtime, better asset utilization, and simpler maintenance planning, while enabling compatibility with existing protection architectures and modern automation workflows.
