Eaton EGR-5000-2B0CA0 Generator Relay - Differential Protection
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0CA0
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay is a protective device for generator systems, delivering reliable protection and control in industrial and utility applications. Engineers often struggle with integrating diverse I/O, protective functions, and reliable communications in a single, maintainable package. Compliance details list 'Contact Manufacturer'; verify essential certifications such as CE, SIL, and IP ratings with Eaton to meet project requirements. This model combines Modbus / DNP3 RTU over Ethernet, IRIG-B interface, and Trip Coil monitoring, enabling scalable monitoring and fast fault isolation while supporting URTD. By consolidating protection, metering, and communication in one enclosure, it helps reduce wiring, shorten installation time, and improve overall system MTBF.

FAQs
Installation is simplified by removable terminals and a semi-flush mounting method, allowing you to swap in the EGR-5000-2B0CA0 without rewiringing. The relay supports a wide input range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac) and provides 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, plus 2 analog I/O for flexible protection and metering. Always refer to the installation manual and verify wiring diagrams per your generator configuration.
The unit provides Modbus/DNP3 RTU over Ethernet (RJ-45), enabling seamless data exchange with SCADA and EMS systems. It also includes URTD interface and IRIG-B for time synchronization and monitoring, which simplifies remote diagnostics and ensures consistent event timestamps across protection and control networks.
Yes, differential protection is a core capability of the EGR-5000 family, providing fast, selective tripping to isolate faults within the generator windings or protected zones, reducing the risk of collateral outages and preserving system stability.
The product is covered under Eaton’s Selling Policy 25-000, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For repair, replacement, or service beyond warranty, contact Eaton’s service network for guidance and options.
Ensure power supply compatibility with 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac and 50/60 Hz operation. Confirm the 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 analog I/O, and 2 current sensing inputs align with your protection scheme. Validate the installation location satisfies environmental limits and that Modbus/DNP3 and IRIG-B interfaces are accessible for your control system.
