FAQs

The EDR-5000-2A1CA0 is an Eaton distribution relay designed to protect electrical feeders while enabling remote monitoring and coordination with SCADA. It combines eight input channels and eleven outputs with zone selective interlocking, supporting reliable fault detection, fast trip signaling, and simplified integration into industrial control architectures. It is ideal for large plant feeders, switchgear cabinets, and data center power distribution where fast, coordinated protection is critical.
This relay operates from a power supply range of 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac and supports 50/60 Hz. It features eight inputs and eleven outputs, with one current-sensing input, and offers voltage protection, current protection, and metering capabilities. The device supports Modbus TCP or DNP3 TCP/UDP communications over Ethernet RJ45, enabling integration with existing protection schemes and SCADA systems.
Ethernet communication enables remote monitoring and control through standard industrial protocols. The EDR-5000-2A1CA0 supports Modbus TCP and DNP3 TCP/UDP over RJ45, allowing data exchange with SCADA, energy meters, and protection systems. This simplifies centralized supervision, fault reporting, log retrieval, and alarm management across distributed feeders without local polling of each device.
Zone Selective Interlocking improves coordination by communicating fault information among feeders to minimize unnecessary trips, enhancing system reliability in complex distribution networks. The IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor option provides accurate trip timing, crucial for synchronization in critical infrastructure. Together, these features reduce downtime, improve selective tripping, and support precise protection schemes in utility-like facilities and large industrial plants.
The EDR-5000-2A1CA0 is covered by Eaton's warranty policy, typically one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Support includes access to Eaton's technical literature, datasheets, and application notes.
