Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EDR-5000-2B1FB0 offers 16 inputs and 11 outputs with configurable protection logic, enabling precise feeder protection and reduced panel footprint, which translates into lower installation costs and easier commissioning for new or retrofit projects in manufacturing or processing facilities. This device supports 5A/1A phase currents and a wide power supply range (19-300Vdc, 40-250Vac), delivering flexible integration across diverse power architectures and enabling consistent performance in both DC and AC feeder applications. Communication via Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber optic ST ensures EMI immunity and secure data transfer to SCADA systems, improving reliability and reducing engineering time for integration in plant networks. The unit’s removable terminals, semi-flush mounting, and conformal coating support quick, rugged installations in harsh environments, while Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) and Trip Coil Monitor features enhance selectivity and protection coordination in medium-to-large electrical feeders. These capabilities address objections about scalability, maintenance, and compatibility, offering a practical path to compliance, safer operation, and lower total cost of ownership for utility-scale, data center, and industrial facilities.

FAQs
Check the Eaton datasheet for the EDR-5000-2B1FB0 to confirm mounting options (semi-flush), terminal type (removable), and power supply requirements (19-300Vdc, 40-250Vac). The unit supports 16 inputs and 11 outputs, making it suitable for multiple protection schemes. Ensure your enclosure, fiber optic communication needs, and ZSI configuration align with the installation plan and plant wiring practices.
The device uses conformal coated circuit boards and a robust fiber optic communication path (Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU) to minimize EMI and distortion. With 5A/1A current ratings and a wide input range, it accommodates diverse feeder setups. Zone selective interlocking improves selective tripping, reducing collateral damage and downtime during faults.
Ideal for feeders in manufacturing plants, data centers, and process facilities requiring reliable protection, metering, and remote monitoring. Its 16 inputs and 11 outputs support complex protection logic, while fiber-based communication enables secure SCADA integration and real-time protection coordination in distributed electrical networks.
Official certifications such as CE, SIL, and IP ratings should be confirmed in the Eaton datasheet for this model. Confirm regional regulatory requirements with your procurement team and verify that the product’s protective relays meet your facility’s safety and reliability standards prior to installation.
ROI comes from improved uptime due to faster fault isolation, reduced wiring and panel footprint, and streamlined maintenance through comprehensive protection and metering in a single unit. Secure fiber communications also lower field troubleshooting time, while ZSI coordination helps minimize interruptible load events, delivering lower operating costs over the asset lifecycle.
