FAQs
The EGR-5000-2B1DA1 is designed for broad compatibility, including 40-250 VAC and 19-300 VDC sensing; use removable terminals to simplify field wiring and leverage the projection mounting for stable panel installation. Plan for clear separation between control and power wiring, ensure proper surge protection on feeders, and confirm the URTD Interface connections align with your gateway or PLC for reliable data exchange.
Key specs include 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs. Power supply ranges from 19-300 VDC and 40-250 VAC, with 50/60 Hz operation. The device supports a comprehensive protection set—Voltage, Current, Power, and Differential protection with Metering—designed for robust generator protection and monitoring.
The unit provides versatile protection features and a non-coated base, with compliance details to be confirmed by Eaton for specific regions. For harsh environments, verify regional IP ratings and enclosure requirements with Eaton and consider a conformal coating option if recommended for your application. Proper enclosure and cooling must be observed to maintain performance under offshore conditions.
Profibus-DP connectivity on this relay is delivered over a fiber optic ST link, enabling high-speed, noise-immune communication with SCADA, DCS, or PLC networks. This integration supports synchronized protection actions, remote monitoring, and fault reporting, reducing miscoordination risk in multi-generator plants and enabling seamless commissioning with existing bus architectures.
Eaton’s policy typically provides a one-year warranty from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For the EGR-5000-2B1DA1, confirm the current Selling Policy 25-000 with your Eaton representative to verify eligibility, coverage specifics, and any region-based exceptions, ensuring you have access to service, updates, and spare parts.
