FAQs

The EGR-5000-2B0KA1 is designed for generator protection in industrial environments. It features 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and a wide power supply range of 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac. Removable terminals and projection mounting simplify installation, wiring, and field maintenance, while IRIG-B URTD interface options support time-synchronised protection in larger plants.
Differential protection compares current entering and leaving protected equipment to detect internal faults. In the EGR-5000-2B0KA1, differential protection helps prevent undetected winding faults and transformer faults from progressing, enabling selective tripping. Use it for generator windings or multi-wault protection scenarios where precise fault discrimination reduces wide-area outages and improves asset protection.
Yes. The EGR-5000-2B0KA1 includes I/O options such as IRIG-B and URTD Interface, plus a Trip Coil Monitor. These features enable synchronized protection with other protective devices and enhanced trip-coordination in complex power plants, data centers, or utility-scale installations.
Compliances are listed as 'Contact Manufacturer' for this model, so verify current regional approvals with Eaton. Typical considerations include regional CE/UL markings and any site-specific safety or electrical standards. Confirm SIL readiness or other safety certifications with Eaton for your system's safety integrity requirements.
Maintenance benefits include removable terminals that simplify wiring and field servicing, reducing installation and troubleshooting time. ROI considerations come from reduced nuisance trips, improved generator uptime, and a structured warranty policy (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment). In practice, this translates to lower maintenance labor costs and extended asset life in critical operations.
