FAQs
To install the EDR-5000-2B0EB0, mount the unit using its semi-flush method in a standard feeder enclosure. Utilize removable terminals for the I/O connections and ensure proper torque on all power and signal terminals. Verify the 16 inputs and 11 outputs align with your feeder protection scheme, then connect Profibus-DP over D-Sub / RS-485 to the control system. Follow manufacturer wiring diagrams and perform a functional test prior to live operation.
Profibus-DP over D-Sub RS-485 provides robust, industry-standard communication between the relay and PLCs or SCADA systems. This reduces wiring complexity while enabling reliable real-time protection control, status feedback, and metering data. It supports scalable network topologies, simplifies diagnostic access, and accelerates commissioning across multi-panel feeder configurations in industrial plants.
The relay offers Power Protection and Metering, Voltage Protection and Metering, and Current Protection and Metering, all designed to improve selective tripping and fault localization. With Zone Selective Interlocking and Trip Coil Monitor options, you gain faster fault isolation, reduced downtime, and improved coordination across feeders in switchgear and data-center power distribution environments.
Compliance details for this model are listed as 'Contact Manufacturer.' Before deployment, confirm with Eaton whether CE marking, IP rating, and SIL readiness apply to your installation, and verify any site-specific requirements. Also review warranty terms (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) to align with your maintenance planning.
Using the EDR-5000-2B0EB0 typically yields a lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime, faster fault isolation, and streamlined commissioning via Profibus-DP integration. The device’s robust I/O, protection metering capabilities, and optional time-sync features contribute to predictive maintenance and improved uptime, delivering measurable productivity gains across large feeder networks.
