FAQs
The EGR-5000-2A1GA0 is designed for semi-flush mounting with removable terminals, simplifying field wiring and panel layout. With 16 digital inputs and 9 outputs, you can consolidate protection logic in one device, reducing external I/O modules and wiring errors. Follow the manufacturer’s installation guide for terminal torque specs and wiring schemes to ensure reliable performance.
Key specs include a power supply range of 19–300 VDC and 40–250 VAC, 50/60 Hz operation, 16 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs. It supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 for remote monitoring and control, enabling integration with existing SCADA or protection schemes.
Yes. The EGR-5000-2A1GA0 provides Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communications over RS-485 via a D-Sub interface, enabling secure, real-time data exchange with SCADA/HMI systems. This simplifies remote monitoring, fault reporting, and coordinated protection across multiple generator sets in data centers, manufacturing plants, and utilities.
Warranty terms align with Eaton’s policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. For service, consult Eaton support or authorized partners to obtain recommended spare parts, software updates, and calibration procedures to maintain protection accuracy.
Applications include standby and prime power generators in data centers, hospitals, and manufacturing facilities. The relay’s extensive I/O, RS-485 communications, and zone selective interlocking support precise protection coordination, fast fault isolation, and seamless integration with centralized monitoring systems, reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
