Eaton Specification Sheet - EDR-5000-2A1EA0
The eight-input, eleven-output architecture enables comprehensive feeder logic, reducing wiring complexity while enabling precise zone selective interlocking for faster fault isolation and reduced outage impact in multi-feeder plants. This translates to measurable uptime improvements and easier commissioning in high-availability environments. The device supports a wide power range—19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac—allowing global deployment across sites with varying electrical infrastructures, delivering consistent protection behavior and simplified stocking for multinational rollouts. PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub/RS-485 provides seamless integration with existing fieldbus networks, improving data visibility, remote control, and coordinated trip schemes for centralized protection coordination. Time-sensitive options, such as IRIG-B I/O, and configurable trip/monitoring signals enhance synchronization with main protection schemes and external timing references. Removable terminals and semi-flush mounting streamline installation, maintenance, and future upgrades, reducing service time and labor costs.

FAQs
Begin by mounting the unit using its semi-flush mounting provisions and securing removable terminals for easy wiring. Connect the Profibus-DP link via the D-Sub/RS-485 interface, ensure input supply within 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac, and verify the 8 input/11 output channel configuration aligns with the feeder protection logic. Finally, perform a functional check to confirm communication, timing, and interlock operations before commissioning.
Key specs include 8 inputs and 11 outputs, power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, and a frequency rating of 50/60 Hz. The device supports zone selective interlocking and a single sensing input, with Profibus-DP communication over D-Sub/RS-485. These parameters enable reliable protection and metering across diverse plant feeders.
Yes. The EDR-5000-2A1EA0 is designed as a feeder protection and distribution relay with capabilities for metering, voltage and current protection, and zone selective interlocking. Its flexible power inputs, multiple I/O options, and Profibus-DP communication make it well-suited for centralized protection coordination in manufacturing plants and complex packaging or assembly lines.
Certification details are listed by Eaton and can vary by region and application. The product confirms compliance status as 'Contact Manufacturer' in the data sheet, so verify CE, SIL, IP, and other regional certifications directly with Eaton or the local distributor to ensure alignment with your regulatory requirements and asset commissioning plan.
Maintenance is streamlined by removable terminals and modular I/O, reducing field labor during inspection and retrofits. A single distributor relay for feeder protection can lower wiring complexity and enable faster fault diagnosis via Profibus-DP data. The warranty provides one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, offering protection against early field issues and contributing to total cost of ownership improvements.
