Eaton EDR-5000-2B0GA0 Distribution Relay - Modbus RTU / DNP3 RTU over RS-485

16 inputs and 11 outputs with removable terminals enable flexible field wiring and straightforward installation, reducing panel real estate needs and commissioning time. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With a higher I/O count and easy wiring, system integrators can implement complex feeder protection logic while cutting setup time, ideal for retrofits and new builds in distributions substations. The device supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over D-Sub RS-485, enabling seamless integration with SCADA and HMI systems, decreasing engineering effort and escalation when addressing alarms and metering data in industrial plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: RS-485 communications improve remote monitoring and diagnostics, delivering faster fault location and reduced MTTR across multiple feeders. Power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, plus 50/60 Hz compatibility, provides installation versatility in mixed environments and supports single-supply designs, cutting inventory needs and enabling easy retrofits into existing plant power architectures. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Wide input ranges simplify upgrading legacy equipment and enable uniform protection schemes across diverse electrical rooms. Current sensing inputs and phase current options of 5A and 1A offer precise protection and metering, lowering nuisance trips and enabling accurate fault analysis for reliability-centered maintenance programs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Accurate current sensing supports energy metering and protection coordination for feeders in data centers and process plants. Zone selective interlocking (ZSI) supports coordinated tripping across feeders to minimize outage impact, reducing customer downtime and improving system availability. Feature → Business Impact → Application: ZSI supports fast, selective clearing in multi-feed configurations, essential for critical production lines and safety-critical processes. IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor as an optional I/O enhances auditability and timing accuracy, aiding compliance with high-reliability installation standards. Feature → Business Impact → Application: High-integrity timing and monitoring improve reporting and forensic analysis for incident investigations and regulatory requirements. Semi-flush mounting and removable terminals simplify installation and service in crowded panels, while the robust base model provides a flexible upgrade path without disruptive rewiring.
