Eaton EDR-5000-2A1IB1 Distribution Relay - Conformal Coated Circuit Boards
Part Number: EDR-5000-2A1KA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2A1IB1 provides reliable feeder protection for industrial power systems. Engineers often wrestle with integrating multi-input relays that must operate across mixed AC/DC voltages while preserving communication integrity. Certification specifics vary by region and should be confirmed with the manufacturer; typical considerations include CE compatibility, SIL readiness for safety-critical deployments, and robust enclosure protection. With a broad input range, modular I/O, and secure Ethernet/RS-485 communication, this relay supports scalable protection schemes and helps reduce system downtime. That combination translates to faster deployment, improved reliability, and lower total cost of ownership for feeder protection projects.

FAQs
The EDR-5000-2A1IB1 uses Projection mounting with removable terminals, enabling rapid installation and straightforward field wiring. With 8 inputs and 11 outputs, you can wire complex feeder protection circuits while maintaining clean enclosures. The removable terminals simplify upgrades and maintenance, reducing commissioning time and minimizing downtime during routine servicing.
This relay supports a broad power range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, operating at 50/60 Hz. Phase current options are 5 A and 1 A, with 1 current sensing input. These specs allow protection for mixed motor and feeder loads while maintaining accurate metering and protection coordination within a single device.
Yes. Its RS-485 Modbus and Ethernet TCP communications enable integration with building management and SCADA systems, while 8 inputs and 11 outputs support comprehensive protection schemes. The device also supports time-synchronized signaling via IRIG-B and has configurable protection parameters, making it suitable for data centers and other mission-critical environments.
Compliance details are provided by the manufacturer; the product lists 'Compliances: Contact Manufacturer.' For project planning, refer to the Eaton datasheet and confirm regional regulatory approvals (CE, SIL readiness, IP-related enclosures) with Eaton support to ensure your installation meets local requirements.
The relay enables faster fault isolation through zone selective interlocking and precise current sensing, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. Remote monitoring via RS-485 and Ethernet helps optimize preventive maintenance, while removable terminals and conformal-coated boards improve long-term reliability, lowering total cost of ownership in feeder protection deployments.
