Eaton Generator Relay EGR-5000-2A1DB0 - Profibus-DP over fiber

16 digital inputs enable rich signal collection for protection logic, delivering faster fault recognition and more precise trip decisions; the business impact is reduced unplanned downtime and tighter protective coordination in generator banks. This directly supports applications in power plants and critical facilities where uptime is paramount and miscoordination can be costly. The 9 configurable outputs provide direct interlocks and alarm controls, reducing external wiring and enabling compact enclosure designs while maintaining clear fault annunciation for operators. In practice, this means easier panel wiring, faster commissioning, and lower maintenance overhead during lifecycle operations. The power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac with 50/60 Hz compatibility offers global install flexibility, minimizing regional variants and simplifying spare-part strategies. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster ROI for multi-site deployments. Removable terminals and semi-flush mounting simplify service and upgrades, enabling technicians to diagnose and rewire quickly without full system downtime. The conformal coating on circuit boards improves reliability in humid, dusty, or vibration-prone environments, reducing corrosion risk and extending field life. I/O options like Sensitive Ground Input, Trip Coil Monitor, URTD Interface, and IRIG-B timing expand diagnostic capabilities and timing precision, supporting advanced protection schemes and easier integration with legacy control networks. PROFIBUS-DP over fiber optic ST provides robust, noise-immune communication to PLCs and SCADA systems, ensuring reliable data transfer in electrically noisy plants. Zone selective interlocking (1) enables coordinated, selective tripping to minimize outages and improve system selectivity in large generator arrangements.
