Eaton EGR-5000-2A1CA0 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A1CA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay is a robust protection device for industrial power systems. It provides comprehensive generator protection and monitoring to help prevent outages and equipment damage. Note that the listing specifies compliance as 'Contact Manufacturer' rather than published certifications; typical standards for generator protection relays include CE, IP ratings, and SIL considerations—verify with the supplier. For system integration, the relay offers Modbus/DNP3 RTU over Ethernet and interfaces like IRIG-B, enabling seamless SCADA connectivity and remote diagnostics. This combination of protection, communication, and flexible I/O supports reliable, scalable protection schemes while optimizing maintenance and total cost of ownership for mission-critical facilities.
