Removable terminals simplify field maintenance and reduce commissioning time, translating to lower downtime during swap-outs or upgrades. This practical feature enhances uptime and equipment availability in critical feeder configurations, especially where quick servicing is essential. The wide power supply range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac) and 50/60 Hz compatibility offer installation flexibility across sites with different power standards, reducing site-specific engineering work and accelerating deployment. With eight inputs and eleven outputs, the EDR-5000 supports comprehensive protection logic and metering, enabling precise coordination of protection schemes and faster fault isolation. The Modbus RTU over RS-485 and Modbus TCP over Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces provide seamless SCADA integration, enabling centralized monitoring, remote diagnostics, and data-driven maintenance planning. Conformal coated circuit boards extend reliability in harsh environments, while the IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor option adds advanced protection coordination for critical feeders. Zone selective interlocking is available to improve selective tripping and reduce electrical stress on remaining feeders, delivering measurable improvements in system resilience and fault-clearing speed.

FAQs

When installing the Eaton EDR-5000-2A0IB0, plan for a semi-flush mounting approach and ensure clean, secure removable terminals for quick maintenance. Verify the power supply range matches your site voltage (19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac) and confirm RS-485 Modbus RTU and Ethernet TCP/IP connectivity for your SCADA or DMS integration. Consider enabling the IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor option if precise timing coordination is required in power systems. Proper cabling protection and environmental exposure considerations will maximize the performance and service life in industrial environments.
The EDR-5000-2A0IB0 supports both Modbus RTU over RS-485 and Modbus TCP over Ethernet RJ-45, enabling flexible integration with existing control systems. Use RS-485 for local, robust serial communications in harsh industrial settings, and Ethernet TCP for high-speed, network-wide monitoring and control. This dual-interface approach reduces integration time, improves remote diagnostics, and supports scalable data acquisition for power protection and metering applications.
Yes. The relay includes Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) capabilities and supports coordination across multiple feeders, helping to minimize fault propagation and reduce outage duration. In large installations, this feature improves selectivity and system reliability by enabling faster, targeted tripping while maintaining overall protection coordination. Ensure compatibility with your existing protection scheme and confirm relay settings during commissioning.
Compliance details for the EDR-5000-2A0IB0 are specified by the manufacturer and may vary by region. The device uses conformal coated circuit boards to improve reliability in challenging environments, and integration with standard communication protocols (RS-485 Modbus RTU and Ethernet Modbus TCP) supports regulatory reporting and interoperability. Always verify applicable certifications (such as CE or others required in your jurisdiction) with Eaton during procurement and prior to installation.
Deployment of the EDR-5000-2A0IB0 typically yields reduced downtime due to removable terminals and straightforward field servicing. The combination of remote monitoring via RS-485 and Ethernet, zone selective interlocking, and conformal coating contributes to higher system availability and lower maintenance costs over time. While exact ROI depends on plant size and fault rates, the device’s protection accuracy, metering capabilities, and integration options generally translate into safer operations and lower total cost of ownership.
