Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A1GB0 - Modbus RTU / DNP3

Feature → Business Impact → Application: 8 inputs and 11 outputs provide extensive I/O for complex feeder schemes, reducing wiring complexity and enabling zone protection with centralized monitoring. This translates to faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and improved system reliability in panel and substation setups. Application: feeder protection in industrial plants and electrical rooms, compatible with modern SCADA systems through RS-485 Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU interfaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over D-SUB RS-485 enables seamless integration with existing control architectures, shortening integration cycles and lowering installation costs. Application: remote monitoring and control of protection schemes across distributed facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: wide power-supply range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac) supports multi-plant deployments with fluctuating mains, reducing the need for separate power conditioning and lowering total cost of ownership. Application: new builds and retrofits in data centers, campuses, and manufacturing floors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: conformal coating and rugged construction increase reliability in harsh environments, minimizing downtime due to moisture, dust, or temperature swings. Application: protection relays installed in outdoor or dirty indoor environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: zone selective interlocking (1) enhances selective tripping, reducing arc flash energy and improving service continuity. Application: coordinated feeder protection in multi-mector installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: removable terminals and semi-flush mounting simplify installation and field service, cutting commissioning time and enabling rapid retrofit. Application: panel builders and service technicians performing upgrades or expansions. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dual-input voltage sensing supports accurate protection logic across DC and AC systems, ensuring correct operation during power quality events. Application: mixed-power facilities such as manufacturing lines with DC drives and AC distribution. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IRIG-B compatible input options and configurable I/O allow integration with time-synchronization schemes and protection schemes, improving situational awareness and coordination. Application: protective relays in mission-critical systems requiring precise timing and coordination.
