Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B0FA1 - Modbus RTU over fiber
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0FA1
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B0FA1 provides comprehensive generator protection for plant and facility backup systems. Engineers frequently grapple with unreliable protection, complex integration, and costly downtime when migrating to automatic generator start. Note that explicit certifications such as CE safety marks, SIL performance levels, or IP enclosure ratings are not listed in the current specification; confirm exact certifications with Eaton for your region. With Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber, flexible I/O, and removable terminals, the relay streamlines deployment, improves monitoring visibility, and reduces wiring, commissioning time, and maintenance costs across distributed generation assets.

FAQs
Begin with mapping the 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 9 outputs to your protection philosophy. Use the removable terminals for rapid field wiring, verify 50/60 Hz compatibility, and configure Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber for SCADA integration. Plan for zone selective interlocking where fast, selective trips are required to minimize downtime.
The EGR-5000-2B0FA1 supports 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. It operates from a wide power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, with 50/60 Hz compatibility, enabling flexible installation on diverse generator sets.
Yes. The relay provides configurable protection, metering, and remote communication (Modbus RTU/DNP3 RTU over fiber), which supports high-availability requirements in data centers. Its removable terminals and projection mounting simplify installation in constrained electrical rooms.
The listing shows Compliances as Contact Manufacturer, so confirm region-specific certifications (such as CE, SIL, or IP ratings) directly with Eaton to ensure the device meets your regulatory and safety requirements.
Eaton provides a warranty policy of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular maintenance should focus on ensuring fiber connections, secure terminal contacts, and up-to-date communication configurations for reliable protection.
