Eaton EGR-5000-2A1IB1 Generator Relay - RS-485 & Ethernet
Part Number: EGR-5000-2A1IB1
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay provides reliable generator protection for industrial plants and standby power systems. Engineers and procurement teams often struggle with accurate fault detection, scalable I/O, and remote monitoring in harsh environments. Compliance details should be confirmed with Eaton, but generator protection relays commonly pursue CE marking and rugged IP-rated enclosures, with SIL options in select configurations. With built-in Modbus over RS-485 and Ethernet, this solution enables fast diagnostics, easier integration with existing control networks, and reduced downtime. Its 16 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and versatile power-supply range support quick deployment and predictable maintenance across diverse generator configurations.
