Quick Summary

Eaton distribution relay EDR-5000-2B1GA1 protects feeders while delivering real-time monitoring for industrial power networks. Engineers often struggle to coordinate protection schemes while maintaining reliable communications over RS485. Certifications vary by installation; confirm CE, SIL and IP ratings with the manufacturer to ensure compliance. In practice, this device enables Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485, delivering business value through improved protection coordination, faster fault isolation, and enhanced visibility of electrical parameters. This combination supports scalable feeder protection, efficient commissioning, and seamless integration with existing SCADA and EMS systems. Support for global power architectures further simplifies procurement and installation across sites.

FAQs

Begin by mounting the unit in a projection-ready enclosure and securing it with the recommended hardware. Connect the 16 inputs and 11 outputs to the feeder circuits, then attach the removable terminals for ease of maintenance. Power the relay from 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac and verify 50/60 Hz operation. Finally, configure Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485 for SCADA communication and load testing.
The relay supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communications over a D-Sub RS-485 interface. This enables straightforward integration with common SCADA and EMS systems, remote fault reporting, and centralized monitoring without extensive protocol conversion or custom gateways.
Yes, the EDR-5000-2B1GA1 includes Zone Selective Interlocking. This capability coordinates tripping across multiple feeders, reducing the likelihood of unnecessary outages and targeting fault zones more precisely. It improves system reliability in facilities with complex feeder networks and helps protect critical loads.
Power input covers a wide range: 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac with 50/60 Hz. The device includes one current sensing input and a total of 16 inputs with 11 outputs. It supports I/O options like IRIG-B, Trip Coil Monitor, and Sensitive Ground Input, enabling flexible protection schemes across varied electrical environments.
Warranty follows Eaton’s policy 25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Compliance information is provided by the manufacturer, so verify CE, SIL, and IP ratings based on your installation requirements to ensure regulatory alignment and site acceptance.
