FAQs
Consider mounting with projection, utilize removable terminals for fast wiring, and ensure proper cooling and enclosure protection. The device supports 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac power, 50/60 Hz, and Profibus-DP over RS-485, enabling straightforward integration into existing control cabinets and feeder lines. Plan for 8 inputs and 11 outputs to cover required protection and metering functions and verify any region-specific compliance requirements prior to deployment.
Key specs include 8 inputs and 11 outputs, voltage sensing inputs (1), current sensing inputs (1), phase currents of 5 A and 1 A, and a dual power range of 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac at 50/60 Hz. Communication is Profibus-DP over D-Sub/RS-485. These specs enable flexible protection schemes, accurate metering, and reliable networked control for feeder applications in automation environments.
Yes. The relay provides Profibus-DP communication over RS-485, supporting integration with standard PLCs and control networks. Its wide input/output capabilities and voltage range make it adaptable for feeder protection, metering, and interlocking in industrial panels, helping to simplify network topology and improve fault visibility across the plant.
The provided data indicates Compliances as 'Contact Manufacturer,' so exact regional certifications should be confirmed in the Eaton datasheet. When selecting for regulated environments, consult the E-Series protective relays datasheet for confirmed CE, SIL, or IP-related details and any configuration-dependent certifications applicable to your installation site.
Warranty terms state one year from the date of installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage informs maintenance planning, supports lifecycle budgeting, and can influence total cost of ownership by providing a defined window for replacement or service while minimizing unexpected downtime.
