Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EDR-5000-2B0EB1 offers 16 input points and 11 outputs, enabling comprehensive feeder monitoring and control across large switchgear assemblies. This promotes precise zone selective interlocking and faster fault localization, reducing outage duration and increasing system reliability. Suitable for complex feeder configurations in mid-to-large plants with distributed protection requirements. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Profibus-DP communication over D-Sub/RS-485 provides seamless integration with PLCs and SCADA systems, minimizing wiring complexity and improving data visibility for protection schemes. This enables coordinated trip decisions across multiple devices in automated lines and substations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A broad power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac supports diverse plant power architectures and retrofit projects, reducing the need for extra conditioning equipment and expediting installation. Ideal for modernizing legacy equipment without extensive rewiring. Feature → Business Impact → Application: One current-sensing input with selectable phase currents (5A, 1A) delivers accurate protection coordination and metering granularity, supporting precise fault detection and performance monitoring. Beneficial in feeders with variable load profiles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: I/O options including Trip Coil Monitor IRIG-B, conformal coating on circuit boards, and removable terminals increase mounting flexibility, environmental resilience, and ease of maintenance. This is advantageous in remote or harsh environments where uptime and serviceability are critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) and integrated protection and metering capabilities cover current, voltage, and power protection, enabling fast fault isolation and improved network reliability for distribution feeders in industrial facilities.

FAQs

When installing the EDR-5000-2B0EB1, plan for projection mounting and removable terminals to simplify field wiring. Verify power supply compatibility in your panel (19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac) and ensure Profibus-DP RS-485 communication lines are properly routed to your PLC or SCADA system for reliable data exchange and fault coordination.
The relay communicates over Profibus-DP via D-Sub or RS-485, allowing it to exchange protection and metering data with compatible PLCs. This reduces wiring complexity, improves trip coordination, and supports centralized monitoring and control across distributed feeders in automation networks.
Key features include zone selective interlocking (ZSI), current sensing inputs, and multiple metering protections (current, voltage, and power). Together they enable precise nuisance-trip reduction, faster fault localization, and coordinated tripping across feeder teams, improving overall system reliability.
Yes, the unit supports Conformal Coated Circuit Boards, which enhances reliability in challenging environments. Removable terminals and a projection mounting method further simplify installation and maintenance in industrial settings, including retrofit projects that face vibration, dust, or humidity challenges.
Warranty is defined by Eaton’s policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Compliance details vary by region; always consult Eaton for region-specific approvals (SIL, CE, IP, etc.) and ensure your installation aligns with local safety and environmental standards.
