FAQs
The EGR-5000-2A0GA1 uses 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs, with power supplied over 19-300 VDC or 40-250 VAC. It communicates via D-Sub RS-485 for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU. Removable terminals and projection mounting simplify wiring and panel installation, while optional URTD, Trip Coil Monitor, and IRIG-B interfaces support advanced protection schemes.
Key specs include a wide power-supply range (19-300 VDC or 40-250 VAC), 50/60 Hz operation, up to 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs, two current sensing inputs, and phase currents rated at 5A and 1A. It also supports voltage protection, power protection, differential protection, and current protection with metering capabilities through its sensing inputs.
Yes. The EGR-5000-2A0GA1 is designed as a generator protection relay with Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, multiple I/O for flexible protection logic, and options like URTD, Trip Coil Monitor, and IRIG-B to support synchronized operations and fast fault isolation in manufacturing, data centers, and utility interfaces.
The product data lists manufacturer-based compliance as the reference. For regional regulatory needs, confirm the exact certifications with Eaton or via the datasheet. Typical requirements for generator protection relays in this class include safety and environmental standards such as CE and SIL-related capabilities, but always verify the model-specific documentation for EGR-5000-2A0GA1.
Take advantage of the projection mounting and removable terminals to speed installation and servicing. The device supports remote monitoring via Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, enabling condition-based maintenance. Warranty is one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first, protecting initial deployment investments while you plan ongoing protection upgrades.
