Eaton EGR-5000-2B0GA1 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0GA1
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B0GA1 delivers robust generator protection for critical loads in industrial power systems. Engineers often struggle with integrating protection logic, remote diagnostics, and interoperable communications within a single device. Typical protections in this class rely on CE and UL approvals and rugged IP-rated enclosures; verify Eaton's exact certifications with your procurement team. With Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 and optional IRIG-B interfaces, this relay simplifies SCADA integration and reduces downtime. By combining protection, metering, and monitoring, it delivers tangible business value for uptime, safety, and regulatory compliance. Its flexible I/O and projection-mount design support fast installation in new builds or retrofit projects.

FAQs
The EGR-5000-2B0GA1 is designed for generator protection and monitoring across industrial power systems, with eight digital inputs and nine outputs, plus analog channels for metering. It supports standard communication interfaces (Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU over RS-485) for easy integration with most genset controllers.
The relay communicates with SCADA, PLCs, and protection schemes via RS-485 using Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU protocols. This enables remote configuration, monitoring, and fault reporting without additional gateways, improving data integrity and reducing site visits.
The unit is a rugged generator protection relay designed for industrial use. While specific IP rating is not listed, Eaton typically offers standard protection relays with robust housings; verify enclosure ratings and operating temperature with Eaton to ensure suitability for your environment.
Compliances field indicates 'Contact Manufacturer' for exact approvals. Typical generator protection relays in this class carry CE and UL markings with enclosure certifications (IP-rated). Confirm the exact certifications and labeling with Eaton for your regulatory and customer requirements.
By consolidating protection, metering, and monitoring in a single unit with flexible I/O and time-synchronized interfaces, the EGR-5000-2B0GA1 reduces wiring, speeds commissioning, and minimizes downtime. Its remote diagnostics and SCADA compatibility contribute to lower maintenance costs and improved asset availability.
