FAQs
To install the EGR-5000-2B1CA1, verify the power supply range (19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac), confirm the 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 9 digital outputs align with your genset I/O requirements, and use the removable terminals for straightforward wiring. The URTD interface and IRIG-B timing features support integration with modern SCADA and time-sync needs.
Key specs include 50/60 Hz operation, power-supply flexibility, 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and phase current sensing of 5A/1A. Protection coordination is enhanced by Zone Interlocking, Trip Coil Monitor, Sensitive Ground Input, and Modbus/DNP3 RTU over Ethernet RJ-45 for reliable remote visibility.
The device is designed for generator protection in industrial settings and supports typical standby and prime configurations where reliable protection, monitoring, and remote integration are required. Its wide input range and robust I/O make it adaptable to varied generator architectures, but always confirm application notes from Eaton for your specific duty cycle and startup profile.
This product references CE and SIL-ready protection in its typical documentation, with IP-rating details available in the official Eaton datasheet. For exact ratings and compliance to your facility's regulatory requirements, consult the datasheet or contact Eaton's technical support to confirm the current certification scope.
The EGR-5000-2B1CA1 carries a one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first) and offers enhanced reliability through modular I/O, removable terminals, and remote monitoring via Ethernet. ROI benefits come from reduced downtime due to faster fault isolation, fewer field trips for protection checks, and streamlined SCADA integration for fault analytics.
