Eaton EDR-5000-2B0GB1 Distribution Relay - 50/60 Hz

Feature: Multi-protocol communications via Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485. Business Impact: Enables centralized monitoring and control with fewer field-wired connections, reducing installation time and wiring costs. Application: Feeder protection schemes in distributed industrial networks, data centers, and utility feeder upgrades. The ability to reach SCADA systems directly supports faster fault diagnosis and improved reliability. This also aligns with long-term digitalization goals for energy management and metering. Feature: 16 inputs and 11 outputs with 1 current sensing input and I/O options including IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor. Business Impact: Flexible configuration supports complex protective logic and precise trip coordination, lowering nuisance trips and improving selectivity. Application: Local protection panels and remote feeder banks where granular control and monitoring are required. This reduces downtime and extends asset life by enabling accurate faults isolation and programmable responses. Feature: Wide power supply range 19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC with 50/60 Hz compatibility. Business Impact: Seamless integration with varied plant power architectures and minimal power supply customization. Application: New builds and retrofit projects across industrial plants, mechanical rooms, and plant floors where power diversity is present. This also helps standardize procurement across sites. Feature: Projection mounting and removable terminals. Business Impact: Simplified installation and maintenance with easier field wiring and serviceability. Application: Retrofit projects and installations with limited panel depth or space constraints, enabling faster commissioning. Feature: Conformal coated circuit boards. Business Impact: Higher reliability in harsh environments, reducing corrosion risk and maintenance cycles. Application: Outdoor enclosures, dusty or humid plant areas, and manufacturing floors where environmental exposure is common. Feature: Zone selective interlocking capability (ZSIL) and 1 interlock. Business Impact: Improves selective tripping to minimize power interruption and protect critical loads. Application: Large feeders and multi-branch circuits in industrial facilities where fast, coordinated protection is essential. Feature: Warranty and support (Eaton policy 25-000; 1 year from installation or 18 months from shipment). Business Impact: Lower total cost of ownership through predictable service and access to manufacturer support. Application: Procurement and long-term maintenance planning for mission-critical feeders. Overall, the EDR-5000-2B0GB1 combines flexible I/O, robust communication, and adaptable mounting to streamline integration, improve protection accuracy, and reduce lifecycle costs in modern electrical protection schemes.
