Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2A0EB1 - Profibus-DP
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A0EB1
Quick Summary
An Eaton generator relay, the EGR-5000-2A0EB1, provides robust generator protection for critical electrical plants and standby systems. In busy facilities, protection relays often struggle to integrate with existing control networks, leading to miscoordination and downtime. Compliance details should be verified with the manufacturer; typical certifications to confirm include CE marking for electrical safety, IP enclosure protection, and SIL capability depending on application. Beyond protection, this model supports Profibus-DP over D-Sub/RS485, 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and a wide power range, delivering measurable business value through improved reliability and faster diagnostics.

16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and two current-sensing inputs enable precise generator monitoring and control, reducing nuisance trips and enabling accurate load management. This data richness translates into faster fault isolation, minimized downtime, and a more reliable protection scheme for critical loads in manufacturing and data-center environments. PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub/RS485 simplifies integration with existing PLC/SCADA networks, reducing wiring complexity and enabling secure, scalable remote monitoring across multiple gensets. The protection and metering framework covers differential, current, voltage, and power protection, delivering comprehensive visibility and enabling proactive maintenance planning. A wide power-supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, plus 50/60 Hz compatibility, supports flexible installation in varied plant layouts and environmental conditions. Projection mounting and removable terminals streamline installation and future serviceability in constrained spaces. Conformal coatings protect circuit boards in harsh environments while URTD Interface, Trip Coil Monitor, and IRIG-B options support advanced coordination and testing needs.

FAQs
The EGR-5000-2A0EB1 uses PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub / RS-485 and provides 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and two current-sensing inputs, making it compatible with many PLC/SCADA networks. Its removable terminals and projection mounting simplify retrofit installs. Check the manufacturer’s datasheet for exact bus configurations and confirm wiring tactics with your control system integrator to avoid signal conflicts.
This generator relay delivers differential protection, current protection and metering, voltage protection and metering, and power protection and metering across 16 inputs and 9 outputs. It also supports zone selective interlocking and Trip Coil Monitor with URTD interface options, enabling precise fault location, coordinated tripping, and enhanced system reliability for mission-critical loads.
Yes. With 50/60 Hz operation, broad input ranges (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac), and 16 digital inputs plus 9 outputs, this relay is well-suited for standby and prime generator protection in data centers and similar facilities. Its PROFIBUS-DP communication and extensive protection features support quick fault diagnosis and tight control of generator health and start/stop sequencing.
Compliance details are provided by the manufacturer and may vary by region. The datasheet should be consulted to confirm CE marking, IP rating for enclosures, and any SIL capabilities relevant to your safety requirements. The product itself lists 'Compliances: Contact Manufacturer,' so plan for a formal confirmation during procurement and installation planning.
Maximize ROI by leveraging its 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs for granular monitoring, using the IRIG-B and Trip Coil Monitor options for precise timing and testing, and integrating PROFIBUS-DP for real-time diagnostics. Regular firmware checks, protective-coating endurance, and ensuring removable terminals are kept accessible will reduce downtime during maintenance and extend service life.
