The device delivers a wide input/output configuration that translates to faster commissioning and lower integration risk, enabling you to tailor protection logic to your generator fleet and metering needs. The 16 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs support complex interlocking schemes and zone selective interlocking, reducing fault clearance times and improving system availability. Wide power supply coverage of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, along with 50/60 Hz operation, helps minimize engineering changes across sites and simplifies spares management. Two current sensing inputs provide flexible current protection and metering, while the IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor and Sensitive Ground Input options enhance fault detection and safety margins in harsh environments. Removable terminals and projection mounting simplify field installation and future upgrades, while URTD interface supports rapid integration with modern control architectures. The Ethernet RJ-45 Modbus/DNP3 interface enables scalable remote monitoring and data exchange, lowering total cost of ownership and enabling proactive maintenance.

FAQs
Begin by mounting the unit in a control cabinet using projection mounting and connect the removable terminals for DI/DO wiring. The device supports 16 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs, with a power supply range of 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac. Integrate via Modbus over Ethernet RJ-45 and verify URTD interface compatibility for remote control and data exchange. This approach minimizes wiring changes and reduces commissioning time while preserving protection logic fidelity.
Key specifications include 50/60 Hz operation and 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, plus 2 current sensing inputs. The unit accepts 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac power, with phase current sensing options at 5A and 1A. It offers IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor, Sensitive Ground Input, and a URTD interface, enabling precise protection and flexible diagnostics within generator protection schemes.
Industries with mission-critical power needs such as data centers, manufacturing, utilities, oil and gas, and chemical processing benefit from the EGR-5000-2A1CA1. It is ideal for generator protection, differential protection, and metering, with Modbus over Ethernet enabling integration into SCADA or MES environments for real-time monitoring and faster fault resolution.
Compliance details are specified by the manufacturer; the product lists 'Compliances: Contact Manufacturer.' For regional approvals such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings, verify directly with Eaton to ensure alignment with your site requirements and regulatory standards before deployment.
The EGR-5000-2A1CA1 includes a one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment, per Eaton policy), which supports total cost of ownership planning. Its modular I/O, removable terminals, and Ethernet-based communication reduce integration time, improve fault diagnostics, and enable proactive maintenance, driving downtime reduction and faster return on investment for generator protection projects.
