Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2A0KA0 - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A0KA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay protects generators and prevents outages in industrial facilities. Outages and miscoordination during generator startup waste time, raise safety risk, and drive maintenance costs. Compliance details vary by region; contact Eaton for CE, UL approvals and local regulatory certifications. As a generator protection relay, it supports differential, current and voltage protection with 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs, enabling precise control. The solution also offers URTD interface and IRIG-B time synchronization for reliable cross-system coordination. Typical deployments target standby generators, main-tie transfer schemes, and critical loads, delivering improved uptime and faster diagnostic insight. Eaton provides a one-year warranty and a robust support network to minimize total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Installation begins with mounting the unit in a semi-flush configuration and connecting the 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs to the panel's protection circuitry. Use the removable terminals to simplify wiring and future servicing. Ensure the power supply is within the 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac range and follow manufacturer wiring diagrams to maintain proper isolation and safe operation. This configuration supports URTD interface and IRIG-B options for time synchronization.
Key specifications include a 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac power range with 50/60 Hz operation, 16 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs. The unit supports generator protection functions such as differential protection and trip coil monitoring, with additional I/O options for enhanced control. This combination enables robust protection for generator systems and metering capabilities.
Yes. It is designed as a generator protection relay with features like differential protection, current protection and metering, zone selective interlocking, and an optional IRIG-B time reference. Its 16/9 I/O, removable terminals, and compatibility with URTD interfaces enable reliable protection schemes for standbys, prime generators, and transfer-switch applications across industrial facilities.
Compliance details vary by region and installation. The datasheet indicates Compliances are handled by the manufacturer, so consult Eaton for applicable CE, UL, and regional approvals. Utilities and plant engineers should verify local regulatory requirements and obtain the appropriate certifications before deployment in critical infrastructure projects.
The EGR-5000-2A0KA0 reduces unplanned outages through precise protection and faster, coordinated trips, lowering downtime costs. Its extensive I/O, differential protection, and time-synchronization features improve diagnostic efficiency and enable streamlined maintenance, potentially shortening commissioning time and extending generator life, which contributes to a favorable total cost of ownership in generation assets.
