Eaton’s Generator Relays (EGR5000) are preferred by users because of their unmatched versatility and dependability. These multifunctional relays provide control and backup protection for medium- to large-sized generators. The EGR’s zone-selective interlocking function improves coordination and tripping time. The unique design provides complete metering, protection, and control in a single compact case, saving panel space and overall cost.
Eaton E-Series Protection Relay Devices purchased after May 31, 2023 will now have a warranty extension of 10 years, superseding the previous warranty of 18 months.
