Eaton EGR-5000-2A0HA1 Generator protection relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A0HA1
Quick Summary
The Eaton EGR-5000-2A0HA1 is a generator protection relay designed to safeguard generator sets in industrial and mission-critical environments. Engineers often struggle with nuisance trips and uncoordinated protection across multi-generator architectures, leading to downtime and costly maintenance. Common certification considerations for generator protection relays include CE compliance for Europe, SIL readiness for high-integrity systems, and robust IP-rated enclosures; always verify certification details with the manufacturer. This model supports IEC 61850 and DNP3 TCP/UDP over Ethernet, enabling secure remote monitoring and integration with modern control systems, while its broad input/output capabilities and flexible power ranges help optimize protection schemes and asset utilization across varied sites.

FAQs
Before installation, confirm the generator protection relay's power supply range (19-300Vdc, 40-250Vac) matches the site power architecture, ensure the 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs align with the protection scheme, and plan for Ethernet connectivity (RJ-45) for remote monitoring. Verify that the physical mounting (projection) and removable terminal blocks suit the panel design, and check for the required I/O options such as IRIG-B if time synchronization is needed.
The EGR-5000-2A0HA1 supports comprehensive sensing inputs and protection logic for voltage and current protection with 50/60 Hz compatibility. With two current sensing inputs and multiple digital I/O, it enables coordinated protection schemes such as differential protection and metering alongside fast tripping. For performance assurance, consult Eaton’s datasheet to align protection settings with the generator configuration and network topology.
Yes, the relay is designed for generator protection in critical applications like data centers. Its 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and Ethernet interfacing support remote monitoring, IEC 61850 or DNP3 communications, and time synchronization via IRIG-B, enabling reliable integration with data center SCADA and preventive maintenance routines while ensuring high availability.
