Eaton EDR-5000-2A1GA0 Distribution Relay - Modbus RTU / DNP3 RTU RS-485
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A1GA0
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A1GA0 is a distribution relay designed for feeder protection in industrial power systems. Engineers often struggle to coordinate feeder protection while maintaining visibility across Modbus or DNP3 networks. Compliance details vary; contact the manufacturer for CE, SIL, and IP rating confirmation. This model supports 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac power and Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, enabling reliable, data-driven feeder monitoring. By integrating with Eaton's E-Series portfolio, you gain scalable protection and improved data collection for automation projects, reducing downtime and streamlining diagnostics. In practice, this translates to faster fault isolation, more efficient maintenance planning, and better alignment with industrial automation strategies.
