Eaton EDR-5000-2B0GA1 Distribution Relay - Modbus RTU/RS-485
Part Number: EDR-5000-2B0GA1
Quick Summary
Eaton distribution relay is designed to monitor and control feeder circuits in industrial power systems, delivering reliable protection and metering. Engineers often struggle with coordinating multiple protection schemes and remote diagnostics across aging infrastructure. In practice, feeder protection solutions benefit from industry-standard considerations such as SIL readiness, CE marking, and IP-rated enclosures where applicable. This model combines Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU over RS-485 with a broad voltage range, enabling seamless data exchange and faster, more flexible deployment. By consolidating protection, metering, and communication in a single device, it reduces wiring complexity, lowers total cost of ownership, and accelerates commissioning for modern power networks.
