Eaton EGR-5000-2B0IB1 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0IB1
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay protects generators by coordinating start‑up, fault detection, and trips for industrial power systems. Engineers often contend with nuisance trips and slow fault isolation when protection schemes aren’t tailored to generator sets. Compliance details are not listed in the provided data; verify certifications in Eaton's official datasheet. Where applicable, generator protection relays typically align with standards like CE and UL; confirm the exact certifications for this model. The EGR-5000-2B0IB1 combines rich I/O, remote monitoring, and flexible interfaces (RS-485, Ethernet RJ-45) to improve visibility, reliability, and overall plant uptime while supporting modern control architectures.
