FAQs
The EGR-5000-2A1HA1 is designed with projection mounting and removable terminals to simplify cabinet installation and future maintenance. It provides 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs, with a power range of 19-300 VDC or 40-250 VAC and 50/60 Hz compatibility. For retrofit projects, verify existing conduit and terminal block layouts and ensure your control system supports Ethernet-based communications (61850, Mbus TCP, DNP3).
The unit operates across common industrial frequencies of 50/60 Hz and supports dual power sources (19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC), which provides flexible connection to different generator configurations. With 16 DI and 9 DO channels plus 2 current sensing inputs, you can implement detailed protection schemes, reducing misoperation risk and enabling precise fault signaling for faster troubleshooting.
Yes. The relay supports Ethernet-based communication and multiple protection and metering functions, including 61850, Mbus TCP, and DNP3 TCP/UDP, enabling integration with SCADA and protection coordination in critical facilities. The 1 voltage sensing input, 5A/1A phase current options, and zone interlocking capability help tailor protection to demanding environments such as data centers and refineries.
Compliance details are listed as 'Contact Manufacturer' for this model, which means exact certifications such as SIL, CE, or IP ratings should be confirmed directly with Eaton. When specifying for regulatory compliance or site requirements, request the current certificate set and installation guidelines to ensure alignment with local standards.
Implementing the EGR-5000-2A1HA1 can reduce downtime through improved protection coordination, fewer nuisance trips, and faster fault isolation. With scalable I/O (16 DI, 9 DO), robust communications, and flexible power/signal options, maintenance planning becomes more predictable and costly outages are minimized, delivering a favorable total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
