Quick Summary

Eaton distribution relay protects feeders and monitors circuits in industrial power distribution. Operators often face slow fault isolation and coordination gaps between feeders, increasing downtime. Typical certifications for Eaton's E-Series gear include CE marking for Europe and IP-rated enclosures; verify exact status with the manufacturer for your region. By integrating Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber, this relay enables secure, real-time monitoring and faster decision-making across critical feeders. Designed for industrial automation environments, it meets procurement needs for reliability, maintainability, and scalable protection schemes.

FAQs

Plan wiring and power must be de-energized before installation. Mount the unit with its semi-flush method, connect all 16 sensing inputs and 11 outputs, and attach the removable terminals for easy future maintenance. Configure Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber, enable Zone Selective Interlocking, and verify voltage sensing inputs (19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac) and 50/60 Hz operation. Finally, perform functional tests and document wiring schematics for future audits.
The device provides Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication over Fiber Optic ST, enabling secure, low-latency SCADA integration and remote monitoring. This supports centralized alarm management, event logging, and time-synchronized data capture when paired with compatible SCADA systems and network infrastructure.
Yes. The EDR-5000 supports Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) with 1 ZSI channel, enabling coordinated tripping and faster fault isolation across feeders without compromising safety. This is particularly beneficial in large switchgear arrangements or critical facilities requiring precise protection coordination.
The datasheet notes ‘Compliances: Contact Manufacturer,’ so confirm the exact certifications (such as CE or IP ratings) with Eaton for your region and application. Given typical protective relays, verify regional safety and interoperability standards relevant to your installation and any industry-specific requirements.
The relay reduces downtime through faster fault isolation, improves protection coordination with ZSI, and enables remote monitoring via Modbus/DNP3 over fiber. With removable terminals and a compact footprint, commissioning and future upgrades are faster, lowering labor costs. The one-year warranty further reduces risk during initial deployment and early-life maintenance.
