Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A0IA1 - RS-485 & Ethernet

Eight inputs and eleven outputs streamline feeder protection logic with fewer relays and simpler wiring, which reduces panel size and installation time. This improves system reliability by consolidating sensing and control in one chassis, lowering cabling errors and maintenance costs. Applicable in medium to large industrial plants where multiple feeders require coordinated protection and fast tripping. Voltage sensing inputs and current sensing inputs provide precise protection decisions; a single voltage input and current input support accurate metering and protective coordination, enabling faster fault detection and reduced nuisance trips in demanding environments. This configuration is ideal for plants needing reliable power protection metering and clear fault visibility at the SCADA level. Power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac with 50/60 Hz compatibility ensures compatibility with diverse plant electrical systems, reducing the need for multiple converters and easing installation in mixed-voltage environments. This supports flexible siting and easier retrofit projects while aligning with standard industrial power architectures. I/O options include Trip Coil Monitor IRIG-B and Zone Selective Interlocking, enabling coordinated tripping and precise protection sequencing across multiple feeders, which minimizes outage impact and improves overall system availability. This is particularly valuable in mission-critical facilities like data centers and manufacturing lines. Communication capabilities cover Modbus/ DNP3 RTU over RS-485 and Modbus TCP over Ethernet, enabling seamless integration with SCADA, EMS, and MES platforms. Remote monitoring, faster fault localization, and centralized protection coordination reduce field maintenance and drive measurable uptime improvements.
