Eaton Specification Sheet - EDR-5000-2A0IB1
Eight inputs and eleven outputs provide rich logic for feeder protection and zone selective interlocking, reducing wiring complexity and shortening commissioning time. The business impact is clearer status signaling to plant controllers and improved protection coordination, enabling faster fault isolation and less collateral damage in outages. The device supports RS-485 Modbus/DNP3 and Ethernet TCP, delivering seamless SCADA integration, easier remote diagnostics, and centralized monitoring, which translates to reduced engineering effort and lower lifecycle costs. A wide power-supply range of 19-300 VDC / 40-250 VAC accommodates diverse substation and panel environments, enabling flexible retrofits and minimizing inventory needs. Removable terminals and projection mounting simplify installation and service, while conformal coating enhances reliability in harsh environments, lowering maintenance overhead. The unit also includes 1 current-sensing input, IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor options, and zone-selective interlocking (ZSI) to support precise protection strategies across feeders. These features collectively improve compliance assurance, shorten test cycles, and support scalable protection architectures for modern factories and critical infrastructure.

FAQs
For installation, use projection mounting and removable terminals to simplify wiring and service. Verify the supply is within the 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac range and ensure proper panel clearance. The device is designed for feeder protection applications and should be wired to support the 8 inputs and 11 outputs while maintaining clean, labeled connections for future maintenance.
RS-485 supports Modbus/ DNP3 RTU, while Ethernet TCP enables Modbus/ DNP3 TCP communications. This dual interface allows easy integration with existing SCADA and PLC systems, reducing engineering time, enabling remote monitoring, and simplifying asset management across multiple feeders and substations.
Yes. The relay provides voltage and current protection and metering with zone selective interlocking and a robust 8 input / 11 output configuration. Its conformal coating improves reliability in harsh environments, and the 5A, 1A phase currents support coordinated protection strategies for complex feeder schemes.
Compliance details are defined by the manufacturer. Refer to the Eaton specification sheet for operating conditions and potential approvals. For region-specific certifications (CE, SIL, IP ratings), consult Eaton to confirm current status and applicable standards for your installation.
Expected ROI comes from faster fault isolation, reduced downtime, and simpler wiring and commissioning. The EDR-5000-2A0IB1 supports scalable protection with remote diagnostics over RS-485 and Ethernet, enabling preventive maintenance and centralized monitoring that decrease outage durations and improve overall plant availability.
