Flexible I/O and protection topology Enable precise tailoring of protection schemes and metering, reducing miscoordination and downtime. This supports generator sets in industrial plants and data centers where fast, coordinated trips are essential. RS-485 communication with Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU simplifies SCADA integration, enabling remote monitoring and centralized fault analysis for faster root-cause determination. Wide power-supply compatibility (19-300 Vdc, 40-250 Vac) minimizes inventory and simplifies procurement for mixed-install environments, improving installation lead times and reducing spare parts costs. Comprehensive sensing and protection options Differential protection, Power protection and Metering, Voltage and Current Protection and Metering deliver reliable fault detection with actionable data, supporting compliance and accurate energy accounting. Time-synced protection features, including IRIG-B and Trip Coil Monitor, along with Sensitive Ground Input, enhance protection accuracy in critical systems like industrial plants and utilities. Zone selective interlocking (1) improves coordination and selective tripping, reducing unnecessary outages and accelerating recovery after faults. Physically, a compact footprint with removable terminals and semi-flush mounting enables straightforward panel integration, while the included warranty and Eaton support simplify maintenance planning and long-term reliability.

FAQs
Install the unit using its semi-flush mounting with removable terminals for clean wiring. Connect 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs as required by your protection scheme. Use RS-485 for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication to your SCADA system, and leverage the URTD interface and Trip Coil Monitor options as needed for reliability and fast coordination.
Yes. The relay supports Modbus RTU over RS-485 and DNP3 RTU over RS-485, enabling straightforward integration with existing SCADA, EMS, and protection schemes without requiring custom adapters.
It is designed for generator protection in industrial plants, data centers, utilities, and critical infrastructure. With 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, zone selective interlocking, IRIG-B time synchronization, and a Trip Coil Monitor, it supports coordinated protection, metering, and fast, reliable isolation of faults.
Formal certifications for this model are to be confirmed with the manufacturer. In practice, generator protection relays at this class commonly pursue CE, UL and IP-related considerations depending on the installation, so verify specific site requirements with Eaton during procurement.
Warranty is Eaton Selling Policy 25-000, covering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For service, updates, and parts, rely on Eaton support to assist with commissioning, diagnostics, and replacement if needed.
