Eaton EGR-5000-2B1IB0 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B1IB0
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay protects industrial generators by monitoring voltage, current, and protection logic for reliable start-up and shut-down. Engineers often struggle with integrating protection schemes across diverse generator sets, raising the risk of miscoordination and unnecessary trips. Compliances are to be confirmed with the manufacturer; explicit standards like CE, SIL, or IP ratings are not listed in the data—check Eaton documentation for certification details. With 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, RS-485 Modbus, and Ethernet options, this relay delivers scalable protection and remote monitoring for improved fleet reliability and maintenance efficiency.

FAQs
The EGR-5000-2B1IB0 is designed for generator protection with flexible power supply options (19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac) and 50/60 Hz operation. It features 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and removable terminals, simplifying wiring when retrofitting or integrating with existing plant controllers. In practice, this reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of wiring errors while ensuring smooth interfacing with SCADA via RS-485 Modbus and Ethernet.
Key specs include 50/60 Hz compatibility, dual analog inputs and outputs, 8 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs, and two current sensing inputs with phase currents rated at 5A and 1A. It supports Modbus over RS-485 and Ethernet, and offers IRIG-B URTD interfaces for precise timing. These features deliver accurate protection, reliable metering, and compatible remote monitoring for mission-critical environments.
Certification details are not listed in the provided data; Eaton indicates compliances on request. For regulated facilities, consult Eaton’s official documentation or contact the manufacturer to confirm CE, SIL, IP ratings, and any sector-specific certifications relevant to your application. This ensures your installation meets all applicable safety and reliability requirements.
The Trip Coil Monitor verifies the integrity of protective tripping circuits, reducing false trips and ensuring fast, reliable disconnection when faults occur. The Sensitive Ground Input enhances fault detection sensitivity for ground-related events. Together, they improve protection coordination, accelerate fault isolation, and help maintain system stability in generator protection schemes.
By consolidating protection, metering, and remote communication into a single relay, maintenance complexity is reduced and diagnostics become more centralized through RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces. Faster fault isolation minimizes downtime, while integrated timing (IRIG-B URTD) improves event logging accuracy. Overall, you can expect lower maintenance costs and higher system availability in mission-critical applications.
