FAQs
Begin with the Projection mounting guidelines and ensure the 19-300Vdc / 40-250Vac power supply is within spec. Connect the 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs to your control system, then wire the PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub / RS-485 lines for networked protection. Use the removable terminals for quick field wiring and confirm a proper grounding strategy with the Sensitive Ground Input option to minimize nuisance trips.
Key features include 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 current sensing inputs, and integrated zone selective interlocking. It supports 50/60 Hz operation and a wide voltage range, enabling precise protection logic for generator sets, metering, and differential protection. The IRIG-B compatibility aids time synchronization in complex protection schemes, improving coordination and reliability.
Yes. The relay provides PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub / RS-485, facilitating seamless integration with existing industrial control networks. This enables remote monitoring, centralized diagnostics, and coordinated protection actions across multiple generator units in a plant.
The datasheet lists compliance as 'Contact Manufacturer.' For CE, SIL, IP ratings, and installation certifications, contact Eaton directly to confirm current certifications and to obtain any necessary attestations or installation guidelines.
Eaton’s Selling Policy 25-000 provides a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. In addition, conformal coating and removable terminals simplify maintenance and field service, reducing downtime and extending asset life for generator protection applications.
