Eaton EDR-5000-2A1GA1 Distribution Relay - Modbus RS-485
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A1GA1
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A1GA1 provides robust feeder protection for industrial power systems. For engineers, integrating protective relays with SCADA and fieldbus networks can be time-consuming and error-prone. Industry standards like SIL, CE, and IP ratings are critical for reliable deployment; however, this model's compliance is listed as 'Contact Manufacturer' and should be verified prior to purchase. By supporting Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 and a wide power-supply range, it enables flexible feeder protection with minimal wiring. The 8-input, 11-output I/O set simplifies protection schemes and supports scalable deployment across mixed-voltages, delivering faster fault isolation and better control-system integration.

Eaton Specification Sheet - EDR-5000-2A1GA1
Power range and voltage versatility drive real-world savings: with a power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac at 50/60 Hz, this relay adapts to both DC and AC feeders and supports mixed-architecture plants, reducing the need for multiple protection devices. Feature → Business Impact → Application: engineers can consolidate protection schemes, lowering installation costs and cycling outages caused by incompatible power rails; applied to feeders in dashboards and switchgear, it streamlines commissioning and ongoing maintenance. High-density I/O supports complex protection logic: eight inputs and eleven outputs enable zone selective interlocking and multi-parameter monitoring within a single device, cutting cabinet space and wiring harness lengths while improving fault localization. Application: large motor and feeder banks in manufacturing lines where coordinated protection is essential. Robust communications enable seamless SCADA integration: Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over D-Sub RS-485 minimizes wiring and simplifies remote monitoring, improving visibility without expanding cabling. Application: plant-wide protection schemes with centralized data collection and alarm management. Optional I/O features expand capability: sensitive ground input, trip coil monitor, and IRIG-B timing support enhance supervision and timing accuracy for critical protection schemes. Application: data-rich protection schemes in power distribution and grid-interface equipment. Mechanical and installation advantages: projection mounting and removable terminals ease field installation, reduce commissioning time, and simplify routine maintenance. Application: retrofit scenarios and new build-outs where quick, reliable wiring and accessible terminals matter. Industry context and practical tips: plan for zone-selective interlocking to minimize arc-flash risk and ensure fast fault isolation without sacrificing selectivity; verify wiring diagrams and RS-485 network topology against the E-Series relay guidelines for predictable results.

FAQs
Yes. The unit uses Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 via a D-Sub connection and features removable terminals for straightforward panel mounting. Ensure RS-485 termination is correct and that the control panel SCADA system supports Modbus or DNP3 protocols to maximize interoperability.
Key specs include 19-300V DC and 40-250V AC power ranges with 50/60 Hz operation, 8 inputs and 11 outputs, and phase current options of 5A and 1A. The device also supports voltage protection and metering alongside current protection and metering, enabling comprehensive feeder protection.
Yes. Its dual voltage compatibility (DC and AC) plus flexible I/O and zone interlocking make it suitable for mixed-voltage feeders. When planning, map each feeder’s protection logic to the eight inputs and eleven outputs to ensure coordinated trips and accurate metering.
Certification details are listed as 'Contact Manufacturer' in this data set. If compliance with SIL, CE, IP ratings, or other standards is required for your installation, confirm with Eaton prior to procurement to ensure regulatory alignment.
ROI comes from reduced wiring, faster fault isolation via zone selective interlocking, and easier remote monitoring through Modbus/DNP3 networks. The result is lower downtime, simpler maintenance, and smoother integration with SCADA, yielding measurable improvements in plant availability and operational efficiency.
