FAQs
The unit features 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs, plus 2 current sensing inputs. Wire per the protection logic you deploy (over/under-voltage, frequency, differential, and ground fault inputs) and utilize the removable terminals to simplify field installation and maintenance. Align wiring with the 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac power ranges and ensure proper isolation between control and power circuits to minimize interference.
Yes, the EGR-5000-2B1DB1 includes PROFIBUS-DP communication over a fiber optic ST interface, enabling robust, noise-immune data exchange with PLCs and SCADA systems. This supports remote monitoring, status reporting, and tripping commands, simplifying integration into centralized protection and automation architectures.
The device is designed for generator protection with capabilities including voltage and current sensing, metering functions, differential protection, and voltage protection with metering. It also supports zone selective interlocking for selective tripping, enhancing system reliability by minimizing outages and ensuring coordinated, fast fault isolation.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from installation or an 18-month period from shipment, whichever occurs first. Regular maintenance should focus on inspection of wiring terminals, verification of analog/digital input integrity, and monitoring of protection settings. Refer to Eaton’s documentation and the E-series protective relays brochure for recommended maintenance procedures and service intervals.
Install the EGR-5000-2B1DB1 using projection mounting with removable terminals for straightforward cabling. The unit uses conformal-coated circuit boards to resist moisture and contaminants, making it suitable for harsh environments. Ensure the power supply stays within 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac, and maintain proper separation between power and control circuits to minimize electrical noise and maximize reliability.
