With 16 inputs and 11 outputs, the EDR-5000-2B1GA0 consolidates sensing, protection, and signaling in a single unit, reducing the need for additional I/O modules and wiring, while shortening commissioning time. This translates to faster fault isolation and improved MTTR in feeder panels. The support for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 enables straightforward SCADA integration, empowering remote configuration, monitoring, and control to boost uptime and visibility across the plant network. The device’s power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, along with 50/60 Hz compatibility, accommodates diverse global sites, lowering procurement complexity and enabling one relays family for multiple facilities. Removable terminals and semi-flush mounting simplify installation and maintenance, reducing wiring errors and downtime during service. IRIG-B options and Sensitive Ground Input expand measurement capabilities for critical protection schemes in data centers and manufacturing environments. Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) capability supports coordinated protection, narrowing fault zones and improving reliability in multi-section feeders.

FAQs

Begin by confirming panel space for the 16 input and 11 output I/O, then use the removable terminals for straightforward wiring. Mount the unit semi-flush to the panel and connect the RS-485 Modbus or DNP3 lines to the D-Sub connector. After wiring, verify the 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac power supply, then perform configuration via the built-in interface or PowerPort-E where available.
The EDR-5000 supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 via a D-Sub connector. Configuration is performed through Eaton’s configuration tools (e.g., PowerPort-E) or the device’s onboard interface, enabling address assignment, register mapping, and scada integration. This enables seamless data exchange with existing PLCs and SCADA systems for monitoring and control.
Yes. The unit includes Zone Selective Interlocking capability (ZSI) with a configurable channel count, allowing coordinated tripping and reduced cascading faults in multi-section feeder schemes. For best results, pair ZSI settings with accurate current sensing inputs and Relay-to-PLC coordination to ensure reliable selective protection in motor control centers.
The EDR-5000 supports a dual power range: 19–300 Vdc and 40–250 Vac, with a 50/60 Hz frequency rating. It provides 16 current sensing inputs, 1 current sensing input, and 5 A/1 A phase current options for protection and metering. The device is designed for feeder environments, enabling mixed-supply installations without multiple units.
Warranty follows Eaton’s policy: 25-000, one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Compliance information is listed as 'Contact Manufacturer' for this model, so verify regional certifications (CE, SIL, IP) and enclosure requirements with Eaton prior to purchase to ensure alignment with local regulations and customer standards.
