Eaton EGR-5000-2B0KA0 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B0KA0
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay provides automatic protection for standby and prime generator sets in industrial facilities. This solution helps engineers reduce the risk of unplanned outages by delivering fast fault detection and reliable trip control. While formal certifications are to be confirmed with the manufacturer, typical generator protection relays in this class reference CE, SIL, and IP-related considerations during supplier qualification. The device supports a wide power range from 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac and offers robust I/O for scalable protection schemes, making it suitable for evolving plant architectures. In short, it enables safer, more efficient grid-tie and stand-alone generator operations with clear business value.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: The EGR-5000-2B0KA0 supports a broad power-supply range (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac) and a versatile I/O set (8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs) which enables seamless integration with existing plant controllers and metering systems. This translates to faster commissioning and easier future upgrades for generator protection relays in data centers or manufacturing facilities. Feature → Differential Protection and Trip Coil Monitor provide precise fault isolation and reliable trip signaling, reducing the risk of cascading outages and minimizing downtime during generator faults. This is critical for critical load applications where uptime is non-negotiable. Feature → I/O options (IRIG-B, URTD Interface) and Zone Selective Interlocking (ZSI) support advanced protection coordination, enabling synchronized protection across multiple generator units and bus configurations. Application: ideal for multi-generator campuses requiring tight interlock and timing control. Feature → Removable Terminals and Semi-flush Mounting simplify installation and field servicing, lowering labor costs and reducing commissioning time. Application: retrofit projects and new installations in control panels with limited space. Feature → Voltage sensing inputs (1), extensive sensing capabilities (current, voltage, power protection and metering) support comprehensive power quality monitoring, enabling proactive maintenance and accurate diagnostics. Application: electrical protection audits and performance optimization in industrial plants.

FAQs
The EGR-5000-2B0KA0 uses a semi-flush mounting method and removable terminals for straightforward panel installation. Its 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 9 digital outputs simplify wiring to existing PLCs and protection coils. For retrofit projects, verify panel clearance, connect the IRIG-B or URTD interfaces if timing coordination is required, and perform a phased commissioning to validate relay logic against existing relays.
Key specs include a wide power-supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac, 50/60 Hz operation, 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs, 8 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs, and phase current ratings of 5 A and 1 A. The product supports voltage, current, differential protection, and power metering, with removable terminals for flexible installation across control panels.
Yes. The relay provides differential protection, trip coil monitoring, voltage and current protection, and presettable metering, which are essential for protecting critical loads. Its multiple I/O channels and timing options (IRIG-B, URTD) enable precise coordination with other protection devices, helping meet uptime requirements in data centers and manufacturing environments.
The data sheet indicates Compliances as 'Contact Manufacturer,' so confirm current certifications (such as CE, SIL, IP ratings) directly with Eaton or an authorized distributor. For mission-critical installations, request formal documentation showing applicable safety, EMC, and reliability standards and ensure alignment with your plant’s regulatory requirements.
By consolidating protection functions (differential protection, trip monitoring, metering) into a single relay with removable terminals and standardized power inputs, maintenance is simplified and downtime during servicing is reduced. The device supports scalable protection schemes, enabling longer transformer and generator life, lower maintenance costs, and improved availability for mission-critical operations.
