Eaton EGR-5000-2B1CA0 Generator Relay - Ethernet RJ-45
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B1CA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay provides protection and monitoring for generator systems in industrial facilities. It helps prevent costly downtime by quickly detecting faults and issuing precise trip signals to protect plant assets. With 50/60 Hz operation and wide voltage sensing (19-300 VDC, 40-250 VAC), the EGR-5000 supports diverse generator configurations. While some relays complicate integration, this model offers removable terminals, robust I/O, and Ethernet-enabled communication for straightforward installation. Designed for scalable protection, it pairs with control systems via Modbus or DNP3, delivering clear data and faster fault visibility. The result is lower lifecycle costs and safer power continuity for critical loads across manufacturing, data centers, and utilities.

Flexible I/O enables complex protection logic with eight digital inputs, nine digital outputs, and two analog inputs plus two analog outputs, enabling comprehensive protection without external hardware. This translates to richer sensing data, faster fault isolation, and simpler control-system integration for generator banks and standalone sets. The broad power-supply range (19-300 VDC, 40-250 VAC) supports mixed configurations, reducing the need for multiple protection devices and accelerating retrofit projects in mixed DC/AC environments. Communication options include Modbus and DNP3 over Ethernet RJ-45, delivering seamless SCADA integration, remote diagnostics, and centralized monitoring for data centers and utilities. I/O options such as IRIG-B, Sensitive Ground Input, Trip Coil Monitor, and URTD enhance timing accuracy and safety, while Zone Selective Interlocking minimizes outages by selective tripping. Removable terminals and a compact form factor simplify field installation and future maintenance.

FAQs
Installation starts with verifying supply compatibility (19-300 VDC or 40-250 VAC) and confirming eight digital inputs, nine outputs, and the two analog channels. Mount the relay in a semi-flush enclosure, connect removable terminals for all I/O, and land the Modbus/DNP3 communications through the RJ-45 port. Follow Eaton’s wiring diagrams for each input/output function to minimize commissioning time and ensure reliable fault signaling.
Key specs include a dual power-supply range (19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC), 50/60 Hz operation, eight digital inputs, nine digital outputs, two analog inputs, two analog outputs, and the ability to communicate via Modbus or DNP3 over Ethernet RJ-45. The device supports IRIG-B timing options, Sensitive Ground Input, and Trip Coil Monitor for accurate protection and fault coordination.
Yes. Its multi-IO architecture, Ethernet-based Modbus/DNP3 communications, and timing features (IRIG-B, Trip Coil Monitor) support centralized monitoring and fast fault isolation. With 50/60 Hz operation and broad voltage sensing, it can protect generator banks in data centers, utilities, and other critical facilities while enabling integration with SCADA and protection schemes.
