Versatile I/O and communications enable robust protection schemes without external relays. The EGR-5000-2B0FB1 offers eight digital inputs, nine digital outputs, and two analog channels, plus removable terminals that simplify on-site maintenance and wiring changes. Built-in Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber supports secure SCADA integration, enabling centralized monitoring and faster fault localization in busy facilities. This makes it an ideal choice for generators in data centers, manufacturing lines, and critical utility applications. Flexible power interfaces reduce panel clutter and miswiring. The relay accepts 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac, and supports 50/60 Hz, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of gensets. The broad power range minimizes the need for auxiliary supplies, reduces installation time, and improves reliability in harsh environments such as outdoor substations or mobile generator sets. Conformal coating on circuit boards and a rugged projection mounting method boost reliability in dusty, humid, or vibration-prone environments. The device uses removable terminals to speed commissioning and field maintenance, while the base EGR-5000 supports a modular protection scheme and zone selective interlocking for coordinated actions during faults. Comprehensive sensing covers current, voltage, differential protection, and metering, with 5A/1A phase current options and extensive protection logic. The Trip Coil Monitor, URTD interface option, and IRIG-B time reference expand testing, monitoring, and timing accuracy, reducing misoperation during switching events and improving system stability. From a total cost of ownership perspective, the EGR-5000-2B0FB1 delivers measurable ROI through improved uptime, fewer maintenance trips, and secure remote monitoring. Long-term serviceability is enhanced by conformal coating, removable terminals, and compatibility with modern control architectures; integration with SCADA and EMS streamlines operations and supports predictive maintenance.

FAQs
Installers should plan for eight digital inputs, nine digital outputs, and two analog channels, using the removable terminals to simplify wiring and maintenance. Mount the relay on a stable panel, connect the 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac supply, and route the control and measurement signals to the generator controller. Use the fiber-based Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU link for secure SCADA integration. Confirm timing references with IRIG-B if precise synchronization is required for your protection scheme.
The relay offers comprehensive protection: current and voltage sensing, differential protection, and metering functions, plus zone selective interlocking for coordinated tripping. It includes a Trip Coil Monitor and supports URTD interface options for advanced protection testing. These features together reduce nuisance trips, improve coordination, and enable faster fault isolation in multi-generator configurations.
Yes. The EGR-5000-2B0FB1 supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communications over fiber, enabling secure remote monitoring, data logging, and integration with SCADA, EMS, or microgrid controllers. This capability reduces site visits, supports predictive maintenance, and improves incident response times in critical facilities.
Compliances are listed as ‘Contact Manufacturer’ for this model, so verify regional certifications (such as SIL, CE, IP ratings) directly with Eaton. The warranty is one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. Always confirm current documentation and regional approvals before deployment in regulated environments.
By delivering reliable protection with configurable I/O, remote monitoring, and coordinated trip actions, the relay reduces downtime and maintenance trips. Its modular design and conformal coating improve field reliability in harsh environments, while SCADA integration enables proactive maintenance and faster fault resolution, leading to lower operating costs and improved asset availability.
