Eaton EGR-5000-2B1FB1 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B1FB1
Quick Summary
The Eaton EGR-5000-2B1FB1 generator relay is a robust protection device that monitors, protects, and controls generator sets in industrial power systems. For engineers and procurement teams, unpredictable trips and integration friction with digital protections can slow projects and drive maintenance costs. While many relays offer basic monitoring, this model supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communications, removable terminals for easy field wiring, and a rugged projection-mount design that fits confined control rooms. Key certifications commonly applicable include CE marking for safety, SIL ratings for critical protection, and IP-rated enclosures for harsh environments; confirm exact conformance with Eaton for your installation. The device aligns with generator protection needs, offering flexible analog and digital I/O, firmware upgradability, and seamless integration with protective schemes to improve uptime and compliance.

FAQs
Focus on using the projection-mount chassis and removable terminals for quick installation. Ensure the control panel has enough space for the 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and the 2 analog channels, with power supplies available in 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac. Plan for Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication over fiber if remote monitoring is needed.
The EGR-5000-2B1FB1 supports 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs. It operates on a power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac at 50/60 Hz, with 5A or 1A phase current options. It provides 9 digital outputs and supports multiple protection schemes.
Yes. The device is designed as a generator protection relay with flexible I/O and communication options (Modbus RTU, DNP3 RTU over fiber). It supports time-synchronized signaling through IRIG-B interfaces and can be integrated into centralized SCADA systems, helping ensure uptime and protection for critical data center power systems.
Compliances are listed as 'Contact Manufacturer' by Eaton; however, common industry standards for generator relays include CE safety compliance, potential SIL-rated protection, and enclosure IP ratings. For exact conformance, verify with Eaton based on your installation location and safety requirements.
The unit features removable terminals and a rugged construction, enabling quicker maintenance and reduced field labor.
