Eaton Specification Sheet - EDR-5000-2B0IB1
Removable terminals enable quick wiring changes and straightforward field maintenance, reducing panel downtime and labor costs while preserving secure, vibration-resistant connections in dense switchgear assemblies. Projection mounting and a compact base design support easier retrofits and safer installations in space-constrained panels, helping crews save time and minimize risk during commissioning. A broad power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, paired with 50/60 Hz compatibility, delivers true global applicability and minimizes the need for multiple adapters or converters. RS-485 Modbus and Ethernet TCP communications enable remote monitoring, diagnostics, and integration with SCADA systems, cutting unscheduled maintenance and enabling data-driven protection decisions. With 16 inputs, 11 outputs, and a single current sensing input, the device provides robust protection and metering without extra modules. Conformal coating and 1 zone-selective interlocking (ZSI) channel support enhance reliability and selective coordination in mixed loads, while the IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor adds precise time synchronization for critical protection schemes. This combination reduces wiring complexity, lowers life-cycle costs, and supports safer, more efficient feeder protection in industrial facilities, energy-intensive plants, and data centers.

FAQs
The EDR-5000-2B0IB1 uses removable terminals for straightforward field wiring, reducing commissioning time and simplifying panel alterations. Its projection mounting and compact footprint support retrofits in crowded switchgear enclosures. Ensure the panel enclosure houses the relay within its environmental limits and that RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces are routed to the appropriate control network (Modbus/DNP3 TCP). Proper labeling of feeder connections and Power supply leads is recommended to minimize startup errors and enable faster fault isolation during initial testing.
This model features 16 inputs and 11 outputs, with a power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, operating at 50/60 Hz. It supports Voltage Protection and Metering, Current Protection and Metering, and Power Protection and Metering. Modbus over RS-485 and DNP3 TCP over Ethernet are available for remote communication, while 1 current sensing input and Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) of 1 provide coordinated protection across feeders.
Yes. The EDR-5000-2B0IB1 is designed as a feeder distribution relay with integrated metering and protection features, including ZSI for selective coordination. Its multi-Protocol communication (RS-485 Modbus and Ethernet TCP) supports integration with plant SCADA and protection systems, enabling centralized monitoring, faster fault isolation, and improved uptime in manufacturing environments and data centers.
Compliances are listed as Manufacturer Contact in the data set, so confirm exact certifications with Eaton for your region and application. In practice, industrial relays of this type commonly align with CE safety requirements; IP protection depends on enclosure installation, and system-level SIL considerations are dictated by the overall protection scheme. Always request the latest certification documentation from Eaton for your specific installation and facility requirements.
The EDR-5000-2B0IB1 reduces maintenance through remote monitoring via RS-485 and Ethernet, enabling predictive diagnostics and faster fault detection. Removable terminals and a robust protection feature set minimize field-wiring errors and panel downtime. The integrated metering and ZSI reduce the need for external devices and wiring, delivering lower upfront wiring costs and long-term lifecycle savings from improved reliability and reduced outage durations.
