The EDR-5000-2B1BB0 features a substantial 16 input / 11 output configuration, enabling comprehensive feeder protection and metering in a single device. This reduces panel complexity, wiring costs, and the need for external relays, improving protection coordination and data visibility at the feeder level. In practice, engineers can deploy robust protection logic and metering from one platform, streamlining commissioning and ongoing diagnostics in industrial substations and distribution panels. Power supply flexibility supports 19–300 Vdc and 40–250 Vac with 50/60 Hz, simplifying installation across sites with mixed control circuits and eliminating the need for multiple power converters. Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 enables seamless SCADA integration, remote monitoring, and centralized fault analysis. I/O options including Sensitive Ground Input, IRIG-B, and a Trip Coil Monitor enhance trip reliability and system coordination for critical loads. Zone selective interlocking (1) further improves selective tripping, reducing outage scope and improving uptime. The conformal coating and semi-flush mounting support reliability in harsher environments while removable terminals expedite field maintenance and upgrades, delivering lower total cost of ownership. Overall, the EDR-5000-2B1BB0 delivers protection, metering, and communication in a compact, deployable package that aligns with modern automation architectures and industry best practices.

FAQs

Start with mounting the device in a semi-flush configuration and connect the 16 inputs and 11 outputs to the protection scheme. Use removable terminals for quick field wiring, then configure Modbus RTU over RS-485 or DNP3 RTU for SCADA integration. Ensure the power supply range of 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac is matched to your plant supply, and verify grounding and relay interlocks to prevent nuisance trips.
It supports 5A and 1A phase current ratings, 50/60 Hz operation, and accepts 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac power. It provides 16 inputs and 11 outputs, with a Sensitive Ground Input option and a Zone Selective Interlocking feature. The device uses RS-485 for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communications, enabling precise protection coordination and remote diagnostics.
Yes. The unit supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, enabling integration with standard SCADA systems for remote monitoring and control. This makes it ideal for feeder protection and metering within distributed power networks, allowing centralized data collection, alarm handling, and coordinated protection actions across multiple feeders.
The datasheet lists Compliances as 'Contact Manufacturer', so certification details such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings must be confirmed with Eaton directly. For project-specific requirements, request the latest specification sheet and approvals from Eaton to ensure the device meets your regulatory and safety standards.
The relay’s 16/11 I/O, along with RS-485 communications and zone selective interlocking, supports reduced downtime through faster fault isolation and easier diagnostics. Its conformity features like IRIG-B monitoring and a conformal coating enhance reliability in harsh environments. Warranty terms are 1 year from installation or 18 months from shipment, aiding maintenance budgeting and lifecycle planning.
