Eaton Generator Relay EGR-5000-2B0EB1 - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0EB1
Quick Summary
Eaton Generator Relay protects generators by monitoring protection inputs and controlling trips in standby power systems. Engineers often battle nuisance trips and slow response under fluctuating loads, risking unplanned outages. Certification details are not listed in the data; consult Eaton for CE, SIL, or IP ratings applicable to your region. The device supports PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub/RS-485, a wide supply range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac), and robust IO with 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs, enabling scalable protection schemes. This combination reduces downtime, simplifies commissioning, and helps align generator protection with plant-wide automation standards, delivering measurable uptime and reliability.

FAQs
Begin by locating a clean, ventilated enclosure near the generator. Mount the unit in Projection mode and connect the removable terminals to the generator sensing and control circuits. Wire digital inputs and outputs (8 DI, 9 DO), along with the 2 analog inputs/2 analog outputs for metering. Verify PROFIBUS-DP over D-Sub/RS-485 networking for PLC communication and power the unit within 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac. Finally, perform a functional test to confirm proper trip coordination and network visibility.
Key specs include a dual power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, 50/60 Hz operation, 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, and 2 analog inputs with 2 analog outputs. The PROFIBUS-DP interface operates over D-Sub or RS-485, enabling integration with existing control networks. Sensing inputs include current protection, differential protection, voltage protection, and power metering for comprehensive generator protection.
Yes. The EGR-5000-2B0EB1 is designed for generator protection with zone selective interlocking and wide input ranges, suitable for standby power in manufacturing. Its IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor and URTD interface support precise trip coordination, while the 8/9 IO set enables robust protective schemes. Ensure integration with your plant’s automation network via PROFIBUS-DP for remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Compliances are listed as Contact Manufacturer, so check with Eaton for the exact CE, UL, IP, or SIL certifications applicable to your region and installation. When planning procurement, confirm these certifications align with local electrical codes and industry standards before installation to ensure regulatory approval and safe operation.
The device includes conformal coating on circuit boards and removable terminals, which reduces maintenance downtime in harsh environments. A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides initial protection, and the firmware-compatible design supports long-term ROI by minimizing nuisance trips and enabling scalable protection as plant needs grow. Regular diagnostics via PROFIBUS-DP help prevent unexpected outages.
