Eaton generator relay EGR-5000-2B1KA1 - 50/60 Hz
Part Number: EGR-5000-2B1KA1
Quick Summary
Eaton generator relay is a protective device that supervises generator operation in industrial power systems. Operators often struggle with downtime caused by miscoordination between protection schemes and limited I/O flexibility. The EGR-5000-2B1KA1 delivers a wide power range and extensive I/O (8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 analog inputs/outputs) with projection mounting and removable terminals, enabling quick, reliable integration in new builds or retrofits. It supports URTD interface, Sensitive Ground Input, IRIG-B timing, and Trip Coil Monitor options, improving interoperability across protection schemes. Certification availability is provided by Eaton on request, ensuring alignment with your compliance program while the base platform already delivers robust generator protection and diagnostic visibility, supporting maintenance planning and procurement accuracy.

Feature: Wide power range and flexible inputs. Business impact: The relay accepts 19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac with a 50/60 Hz rating, enabling it to protect a broad mix of generator sets without multiple adapters. Application: ideal for retrofit projects and new genset installations where supply voltages vary across equipment lines, reducing wiring errors and stock costs. Feature: Expanded I/O set. Business impact: Eight digital inputs and nine outputs, plus two analog inputs and two analog outputs, give you rich protection logic and metering without external modules. Application: supports voltage protection, motor protection, and differential protection routines in power plants and data centers. Feature: Removable terminals. Business impact: Removable terminations simplify field wiring, testing, and maintenance, cutting commissioning time and downtime during swaps or upgrades. Application: convenient for panel builders and service teams integrating the EGR-5000 into existing control cabinets. Feature: Projection mounting. Business impact: Projection mounting provides secure, space-efficient installation in compact switchgear, with fewer mounting accessories and faster installation. Application: suited for modern switchgear layouts and OEM equipment assemblies. Feature: I/O options and timing interfaces. Business impact: URTD interface, Sensitive Ground Input, IRIG-B timing, and Trip Coil Monitor enable precise protection coordination and accurate time stamping for event analysis. Application: essential in complex protection schemes, utility-grade generation, and industrial plants requiring traceable fault records. Feature: Zone selective interlocking. Business impact: Zone selective interlocking reduces outage impact by isolating faults to the correct section, improving system stability and minimizing forced outages. Application: critical in multi-bus or multi-generator configurations where fast, selective tripping matters.
