Eaton EGR-5000-2A1FA0 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A1FA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2A1FA0 protects generators by monitoring voltage and current to prevent outages. In busy plants, tuning protection settings and coordinating with SCADA can be a source of costly downtime. Designed for robust integration, it supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber, operates on 50/60 Hz, and covers a wide power range from 19-300 Vdc to 40-250 Vac. Compliances are provided by the manufacturer, and project-specific certifications such as CE, UL, or IP ratings can be pursued as needed. This combination delivers faster fault isolation, easier maintenance, and better ROI for data centers, hospitals, and industrial facilities.

The EGR-5000-2A1FA0 provides 16 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs along with 2 current-sensing inputs, enabling complex interlocks and reliable remote trip coordination without a separate control cabinet. This flexible I/O configuration reduces wiring complexity and accelerates commissioning, delivering improved protection coordination for multi-generator installations and plants with PLC/SCADA interfaces. It supports a wide power range, with 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, allowing retrofits and new builds to share a common protection platform and cut spare parts inventory. Communications over fiber using Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU provide secure, long-distance data exchange to centralized SCADA systems, easing remote diagnostics and event logging. The I/O options—Trip Coil Monitor, URTD Interface, IRIG-B, and Sensitive Ground Input—along with removable terminals, simplify wiring, maintenance, and field upgrades. Sensing inputs cover current, differential, voltage, and power protection with zone selective interlocking, enabling faster fault isolation and coordinated tripping across generators and feeders, which lowers outage duration and improves uptime in critical operations.

FAQs
Plan for 16 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs and 2 current-sensing inputs to accommodate interlocks and remote trips. The unit uses removable terminals to simplify field wiring, supports a wide power range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac), and can be mounted in semi-flush configurations. Ensure proper fiber optic communication readiness for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU connections and allocate space for SCADA integration hardware as needed.
The relay delivers voltage, current, differential, and power protection with metering capabilities, plus zone selective interlocking to accelerate fault isolation. It supports varied phase currents (5A and 1A) and voltage sensing inputs, enabling comprehensive protection schemes across generator banks and related feeders. This translates to improved reliability and faster, coordinated trips during faults.
Yes. It offers Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU communications over fiber optic ST, enabling secure, long-distance data exchange with SCADA and monitoring centers. This facilitates remote diagnostics, event logging, and centralized protection coordination without expensive rework of existing control infrastructure.
Compliances are listed as provided by the manufacturer, with project-specific certifications (such as CE, UL, IP ratings) available per regional or application requirements. Always confirm the target installation’s regulatory needs with Eaton or your system integrator to ensure full compliance for your site.
Removable terminals and a rich I/O set simplify field maintenance and reduce commissioning time, while built-in protection and fast fault isolation minimize downtime. The relay’s remote communication capabilities support proactive maintenance and diagnostics, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and a better return on investment in critical facilities like data centers and hospitals.
