Eaton EDR-5000-2B1KA1 Distribution Relay - 5A/1A
Part Number: EDR-5000-2B1KA1
Quick Summary
The Eaton distribution relay is a programmable feeder protection device designed to monitor and control power feeds in industrial distribution networks. This solution helps engineers reduce nuisance trips and improve protection coordination in complex panels. Note: The data lists Compliances as 'Contact Manufacturer', so verify CE, SIL, and IP ratings with Eaton to ensure regulatory alignment. In practice, this family supports flexible power supply ranges and multiple I/O options, enabling easy integration into existing control architectures. For procurement and maintenance teams, the combination of robust protection features and straightforward installation translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster commissioning. This approach also supports compatibility with Modbus/DNP3 TCP networks and IRIG-B inputs, reinforcing reliability across modern industrial environments.

FAQs
Begin by mounting the unit with projection mounting to ensure solid panel fit. Connect the 16 inputs and 11 outputs to the protected feeders and devices, then wire the power supply within the 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac range. Use removable terminals to simplify future maintenance, and configure communication via Modbus or DNP3 TCP if your control system requires remote monitoring.
The relay supports voltage sensing inputs, phase currents of 5 A and 1 A, a wide power supply range of 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac, and operates at 50/60 Hz. It features 16 inputs and 11 outputs with removable terminals, and offers Modbus/DNP3 TCP communications over fiber optic Ethernet for robust data exchange.
Yes. The device lists Zone Selective Interlocking with a capability value of 1, enabling coordinated protection across feeder banks in switchgear. This supports selective tripping and faster fault isolation in complex power distribution schemes.
The data provided notes Compliances as Contact Manufacturer, so check with Eaton for CE, SIL, IP ratings, and any region-specific certifications. For critical applications, confirm exact certification levels and mounting/installation standards to ensure regulatory alignment and safety.
The EDR-5000-2B1KA1 offers removable terminals, projection mounting, and a robust protection set, which simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime during servicing. A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) helps mitigate early-life risk, while its flexible I/O and communications reduce lifecycle integration costs and improve protection reliability, delivering measurable ROI over panel upgrades.
