Eaton EGR-5000-2B1KA0 Generator Relay - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B1KA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B1KA0 provides rapid generator protection for critical power systems. Engineers often face nuisance trips and miscoordination during start-up and load changes, which drive unplanned downtime and maintenance costs. CE marking ensures compliance with European safety standards; IP-rated enclosures protect the unit in harsh environments; SIL-rated options may be available depending on the application. This rugged protection relay simplifies integration with existing gensets and SCADA, delivering reliable protection, precise metering, and flexible I/O for steady operations. In practice, that means faster fault isolation, better load shedding, and clearer diagnostic signals for maintenance teams, contributing to improved uptime and safety across facilities.

Power range versatility drives simplified installation and reduced parts inventory. The EGR-5000-2B1KA0 supports 19-300Vdc or 40-250Vac power, enabling seamless operation from varied plant electrifications and generator configurations, which translates to lower wiring costs and faster commissioning. The device provides 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 9 digital outputs, enabling sophisticated protection logic, metering, and signaling without external multiplexing. This IO density supports differential protection, power metering, voltage protection, and current protection with a single unit, reducing panel space and wiring errors while improving diagnostic clarity during fault events. Compatible with Trip Coil Monitor, IRIG-B, URTD Interface, and Sensitive Ground Input options, it enables precise trip coordination and time-synchronised signaling for modern control rooms and remote facilities. Removable terminals and semi-flush mounting streamline installation, testing, and maintenance, cutting labor time and improving field reliability. The unit’s phase current options of 5A and 1A support common CT configurations, expanding compatibility with existing protection schemes and minimizing CT substitution. Zone Selective Interlocking (1) enhances selective tripping, improving system uptime in multi-generator sites. A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides a safety net for commissioning and early-life performance, reinforcing total cost of ownership advantages for OEMs and end users. This conjunction of protection, metering, and flexible I/O makes the EGR-5000-2B1KA0 a compelling choice for generator protection relays in data centers, manufacturing plants, and critical infrastructure.

FAQs
For installation, plan semi-flush mounting and use the removable terminals to simplify wiring and later maintenance. Verify the 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, and 9 digital outputs align with your protection and metering scheme. Ensure a clean 50/60 Hz power environment within the 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac range and arrange IRIG-B or URTD interfaces if you require time synchronization or remote signaling. Proper mounting and cable routing minimize EMI and enhance reliability in industrial environments.
Confirm the device supports your CT ratios with phase currents of 5A and 1A, and that your sensing needs align with differential protection, power protection and metering, as well as voltage and current protection with metering. Check that your installation uses 50/60 Hz operation and that the unit’s dual analog and multiple digital I/O meet your control and signaling requirements. Also verify compatibility with Trip Coil Monitor, IRIG-B, URTD interfaces for synchronized control and external monitoring.
Yes, the EGR-5000-2B1KA0 supports Zone Selective Interlocking with one interlock level, enabling selective tripping and reduced impact on overall power systems. With 8 digital inputs, 2 analog inputs, and 9 digital outputs, you can implement coordinated protection schemes across multiple generators and feeders. This makes it suitable for multi-generator plants, data centers, and critical facilities where fast, selective isolation is essential.
Specific certifications such as CE marking, IP ratings, and SIL options vary by installation and regional requirements. The product is designed to align with industry-standard safety and protection practices, but exact compliance for this model should be confirmed with Eaton. When selecting for a regulated environment, request the latest certification documentation and datasheets to ensure the EGR-5000-2B1KA0 meets your facility’s regulatory and safety standards.
By consolidating protection, metering, and signaling into a single device, maintenance complexity reduces and diagnostic insight improves, lowering mean time to repair. The robust IO set and programmable protection logic minimize unnecessary trips, supporting higher plant uptime. A covered warranty of one year (or 18 months from shipment) mitigates initial life-cycle risk, improving total cost of ownership for OEMs and end users in reliability-critical applications.
