Eaton EGR-5000-2A1HB1 Generator protection relay - 50/60Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A1HB1
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay protects generators by monitoring faults and transfers in industrial power systems. Too many protection schemes miss timely trips, risking equipment damage and costly outages. While formal certifications are not listed in this data, verify CE safety compliance, SIL-rated protection philosophy, and appropriate IP enclosure ratings with Eaton to ensure site-specific requirements are met. This device also supports IEC 61850, M-Bus TCP, and DNP3 TCP/UDP over Ethernet, enabling modern substation integration. For buyers, the value lies in 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and rugged construction that streamline installation, improve reliability, and reduce total cost of ownership across generator applications.
