Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B1GB1 - 50/60 Hz RS-485
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B1GB1
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B1GB1 provides robust protection for gensets in critical industrial environments. Operators often struggle with miscoordination, false trips, and limited remote visibility in mixed-voltage installations. While this model supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 and 50/60 Hz operation, compliance details such as CE marking, IP rating, and SIL levels should be confirmed with the manufacturer. This relay aligns with the broader E-series protection family and offers reliable protection and metering capabilities. With 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 8 digital inputs, and 9 digital outputs, it delivers tangible business value through easier integration, faster fault isolation, and reduced on-site maintenance.

Feature → Business Impact → Application: Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 enables seamless SCADA integration and remote diagnostics, reducing site visits and speeding response to generator faults in industrial plants. This improves uptime and operational transparency in power-critical facilities like data centers and manufacturing lines. Feature → 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs with 8 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs enable flexible protection schemes and precise monitoring of generator conditions, leading to lower false trips and better coordination with non-generator protection schemes in large switchgear rooms. Feature → Power supply range of 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac supports diverse regional mains and battery configurations, simplifying procurement and enabling a single protection device across multi-site deployments. Feature → I/O options such as Trip Coil Monitor, URTD interface, Sensitive Ground Input, and IRIG-B support enable advanced protection logic and time synchronization for complex generation systems, reducing engineering time during integration. Feature → Conformal coated circuit boards and removable terminals enhance reliability in harsh environments and simplify field servicing, lowering lifecycle maintenance costs. Feature → Projection mounting and a compact form factor ease panel integration and replacement in legacy enclosures, delivering faster deployment and reduced cabinet footprint.
