Eaton EGR-5000-2B0EA0 Generator protection relay - Profibus-DP over D-Sub / RS-485
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0EA0
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B0EA0 protects generator sets by monitoring voltage, current, and protection logic to ensure safe, reliable operation. This device helps engineers address the challenge of coordinating generator control with plant automation and protection schemes across diverse networks. Certification details are provided by the manufacturer and may include CE, SIL, or enclosure IP ratings depending on configuration; exact specs should be confirmed with Eaton. By supporting Profibus-DP over D-Sub or RS-485, a wide voltage range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, and flexible I/O, the EGR-5000 simplifies integration and reduces risk. The result is improved uptime, faster fault isolation, and scalable monitoring that supports procurement, maintenance, and operations teams.

The EGR-5000 offers eight digital inputs and nine outputs plus two analog inputs and two analog outputs. This rich I/O set enables complex protection schemes and fast trip signaling without adding external gateways. In practice, that means fewer wiring errors and quicker fault isolation on generator trains, whether used in standby or prime configurations in manufacturing facilities. Power range and frequency compatibility ensures operation with 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac, and 50/60 Hz, enabling global deployment and consistent protection logic across sites. That versatility reduces spare parts needs and simplifies maintenance planning for multinational operations. Protection and communication features include Profibus-DP over D-Sub or RS-485, plus URTD interface and IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor options, enabling seamless integration with existing SCADA and protection schemes. Mounting and wiring convenience comes from removable terminals and a semi-flush mounting approach, which speeds commissioning and service. Application flexibility spans generator protection, interlocking, and remote monitoring across diverse industrial environments, delivering measurable benefits in uptime, safety, and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Plan for semi-flush mounting and removable terminals to simplify wiring and commissioning. Ensure proper clearance for heat dissipation and easy access to I/O connections for maintenance. Verify that the control cabinet accommodates Profibus-DP or RS-485 communication wiring and that protection relays are integrated with existing SCADA or EMS systems.
The unit provides eight digital inputs, nine outputs, two analog inputs, and two analog outputs, enabling complex protection schemes and signaling. The current sensing range supports 5A or 1A configurations, and the device supports multiple protection modalities for generator protection, metering, and differential protection within a single panel.
Yes. The relay supports Profibus-DP over D-Sub or RS-485, allowing seamless integration with existing automation and control networks, remote monitoring, and centralized protective logic coordination across multiple generator sets.
Warranty is Eaton’s standard policy: one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Compliance details are listed by the manufacturer; check Eaton’s documentation or contact Eaton directly to confirm certifications such as CE, SIL, or enclosure ratings for your configuration.
Expect improved uptime through robust protection and faster fault isolation, streamlined integration with existing networks via Profibus-DP/RS-485, and scalable protection logic suitable for multi-site generator fleets. These benefits translate to reduced maintenance costs, simplified spare parts planning, and safer, more reliable generator operation.
