FAQs

Plan for panel space to accommodate an 8-input, 11-output device with removable terminals and a projection mounting style. Ensure a clean fiber optic communication link for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over Fiber and verify a compatible power source within the 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac range. Factor in timing options like IRIG-B for synchronized events and plan for zone selective interlocking integration in feeders.
The EDR-5000-2A0FB1 supports Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU communications over fiber optic ST, enabling secure, EMI-resistant data exchange with SCADA and protection schemes. This facilitates remote monitoring, faster fault diagnosis, and straightforward integration with existing control architectures in feeders and substations.
Yes. With zone selective interlocking capability and a flexible 8/11 I/O configuration, the relay can coordinate protection across multiple feeders, enabling faster fault isolation and reduced system stress. This is particularly beneficial in substations and large industrial plants where selective tripping minimizes downtime and equipment damage.
Compliance details are not published in the data sheet provided. Confirm with Eaton for CE, SIL, IP ratings, and other regulatory certifications required by your project. This ensures alignment with site-specific safety, reliability, and environmental standards before deployment.
The unit uses removable terminals for easier wiring and maintenance, conformal-coated boards for harsh environments, and IRIG-B timing with a protective timer functionality, all contributing to reduced downtime and longer service life. A 1-year warranty provides short-term risk coverage, while the relay’s modular communications and metering capabilities support accurate protection coordination, potentially lowering total cost of ownership over time.
