Eaton EGR-5000-2A1FB1 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A1FB1
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay protects standby gensets by monitoring faults and triggering controlled generator actions. Operators often struggle with coordinated protection logic and reliable remote monitoring across distributed systems. Industry practice typically references SIL, CE, and IP ratings to ensure rugged performance, but confirm current approvals with Eaton. The EGR-5000-2A1FB1 combines flexible I/O, remote communication options, and removable terminals for fast field wiring. This translates to reduced downtime, easier compliance with plant standards, and smoother integration into new or expanded generator protection schemes. Leveraging Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU over fiber and IRIG-B interfaces supports scalable, secure monitoring across your facility.

Feature: Flexible I/O and protection logic – 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs enable comprehensive protection schemes, metering, and control without external relays. Business impact: Simplified panel design, fewer wiring errors, and faster commissioning across generator-based power systems. Application: Ideal for industrial plants and data centers where precise fault detection and coordinated trips are critical. Feature: Broad power and signal compatibility – accepts 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac with 50/60 Hz operation, covering DC control circuits and AC power paths. Business impact: Reduces the need for multiple relays and adapters, cutting BOM costs and installation time. Application: Suitable for mixed-generation and standby applications in harsh environments. Feature: Advanced communications and I/O options – Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber (ST), IRIG-B, Trip Coil Monitor, and Sensitive Ground Input. Business impact: Enables secure, long-distance integration with SCADA systems and precise trip signaling, improving situational awareness and response times. Application: Critical infrastructure where remote monitoring and robust interlocks are required. Feature: Robust mechanical design and serviceability – projection mounting with removable terminals simplifies installation and field maintenance. Business impact: Faster hardware swaps, reduced downtime during servicing, and easier retrofits in existing panels. Application: Retrofit projects and new installations seeking rapid to plug-in protection functionality. Feature: Comprehensive protection portfolio – voltage, current, differential, and power protection and metering capabilities. Business impact: Enhanced reliability, compliance support, and measurable MTBF improvements for generator assets. Application: Industrial facilities requiring unified protection logic and data-rich diagnostics. Industry insight: In modern generator protection schemes, having an integrated relay with native IRIG-B timing, fiber-based communications, and zone selective interlocking (1) supports tighter coordination and faster fault isolation, which translates to lower operating costs and higher plant availability.

FAQs
The EGR-5000-2A1FB1 uses projection mounting and removable terminals for straightforward mounting in standard panels. Plan wiring with the 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs, route fiber optic Modbus/DNP3 back to your SCADA, and verify correct polarity for voltage sensing inputs. Field wiring is simplified by labeled I/O and the ability to connect directly to DC and AC power paths within the specified ranges.
Key specs include a wide power-supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, with 50/60 Hz operation, 16 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, and 2 current-sensing inputs. Phase current options are 5A and 1A, and the unit supports Modbus RTU/DNP3 RTU over fiber plus IRIG-B. Confirm wiring compatibility and panel clearances for projection mounting before installing.
Yes, the EGR-5000-2A1FB1 is designed for generator protection in critical facilities. Its integrated protection functions, remote communication options, and zone-selective interlocking support fast fault isolation and reliable availability. Validate approvals for your region and ensure proper panel cooling and EMI considerations to maintain reliability in mission-critical environments.
Compliances are listed as Contact Manufacturer for this model, so verify current approvals with Eaton for your region. Typical protections from Eaton products align with common industry standards such as SIL, CE, and IP ratings, but regional and product-specific approvals must be confirmed through Eaton to ensure compliance for your installation.
Integrated protection, reduced external relays, and removable terminals lower maintenance costs and warranty exposure. Secure fiber communication reduces wiring complexity and improves remote diagnostics, contributing to shorter mean time to repair (MTTR). Over time, designers benefit from simplified retrofits and consistent performance across generator fleets.
