FAQs

Begin by mounting the unit using the projection mounting method, then connect the removable terminals for the 8 inputs and 11 outputs. Wire the RS-485 Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU channel to your SCADA or PLC, ensuring correct baud and addressing. Verify 19-300 VDC or 40-250 VAC supply, and configure the zone interlocking and sensing inputs for your feeder topology. The design supports straightforward field upgrades and reduces panel space requirements.
The relay operates from 19-300 VDC or 40-250 VAC at 50/60 Hz, with 5 A and 1 A phase current options. It features 8 inputs and 11 outputs, supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, and includes a single voltage sensing input. These specs enable flexible protection schemes for diverse feeder configurations and ensure compatibility with common industrial power systems.
Yes. The EDR-5000-2A1BB1 is designed as a distribution relay for feeders with RS-485 communication to SCADA, zone selective interlocking, and configurable protection metering.
