Eaton EDR-5000-2A0GB1 Distribution Relay - RS-485

Wide power supply range and flexible installation reduce inventory requirements and simplify site wiring. The EDR-5000-2A0GB1 supports 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac input, enabling a single device to cover diverse plant voltages and minimizing conversion hardware. Business impact includes a smaller spare parts ecosystem and faster commissioning across mixed- voltage feeders, with applications in factories and substations. Eight inputs and eleven outputs provide rich protection and metering capabilities, including zone selective interlocking for coordinated trips and reduced outage impact. The large I/O set translates into faster fault isolation and improved network visibility in SCADA environments, translating into measurable uptime gains. Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 enables seamless integration with plant control systems, energy meters, and historian data, lowering integration costs and accelerating project timelines. The inclusion of IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor as an I/O option strengthens timing accuracy for protection schemes, while conformal-coated printed circuit boards support operation in dusty or humid environments, reducing maintenance cycles. The projection mounting and removable terminals streamline installation and service, helping technicians connect and rewire with minimal downtime, which is critical for feeder protection reliability and fast fault restoration.
