General Description

Eaton’s EDR-5000 distribution protection relay is a multi-functional,

microprocessor-based relay for feeder circuits of all voltage levels .

It may be used as a primary protection on feeders, mains and tie

circuit breaker applications; or as backup protection for transformers,

high voltage lines and differential protection . The relay is most com

monly used on medium voltage switchgear applications

The EDR-5000 distribution protection relay provides complete cur

rent, voltage, and frequency protection and metering in a single,

compact case . The relay has four current inputs rated for either 5

amperes or 1 ampere and four voltage inputs . Three of the voltage

inputs are to be connected to the 3-phase power voltage for voltage

protection and for metering . They can be connected in wye-ground

or open delta configuration . The fourth voltage is for independent

single-phase undervoltage/overvoltage protection, or ground protec

tion for an ungrounded system .

The maintenance mode password protected soft key can be used for

arc flash mitigation to change to an alternate settings group, set to

have instantaneous elements only . The multiple setting groups can

also be changed, via communications or a digital input .

An integral keypad and display is provided for direct user program

ming and retrieval of data without the need of a computer . 14 pro

grammable LEDs provide quick indication of relay status .

A front USB port is provided for direct computer connection . An

RS-485 communication port on the back is standard for local area

networking using Modbus-RTU or DNP3 . An optional Ethernet port

and protocols are available .

General description

The EBR-3000 relay, combined with an EBR-Z (EBR-3Z), is a digital

protection relay designed for high impedance differential protection

schemes . The intuitive operating system with validation checks and

extensive commissioning functions such as the built-in fault simula

tor allow safe and time-optimized maintenance and commissioning .

The parameter setting and evaluation software PowerPort-E can be

used consistently across the entire family of E-Series relays .

The principle of the high impedance differential protection is compa

rable with low impedance differential protection: Calculate and moni

tor the sum of all the currents flowing into the protected object, and

under non-fault conditions the sum is zero . Any differential current,

however, is forced through the high impedance of the high imped

ance relay .

The input of the high impedance relay consists of a resistance

(EBR-Z) and an overcurrent protection element (ANSI 87 in the EBR

3000) .

The following convention is important to know: Even though the

EBR-3000 measures the currents flowing through the stabilizing

resistor, all the measurements are presented as a voltage across

this stabilizing resistor (which is 2000 Ω for the EBR-Z) . The burden

of the EBR-3000 measuring input (which is in series with the EBR-Z

resistor) can be neglected compared to the 2000 Ω impedance .

The EBR-3000 monitors the magnitude of this voltage to differenti

ate between in-zone and through faults .

A varistor is built into the EBR-Z . It is connected across the input of

the relay to avoid damage to the relay caused by high voltage . The

varistor needs to be able to conduct significant power as the paral

leled CTs deliver current under special fault circumstances (e . g . in

case of a breaker failure) for more than 30 cycles .

To prevent damage to the relay due to system issues, a lockout relay

is required to short-circuit the high impedance when an trip is initi

ated .

Introduction

Flexible options allow installers to choose between fiber optic

loop cable that is installed in the field and can be labor intensive,

or wired point sensors that are factory-installed, reducing

labor time and cost as well as streamlining equipment

lead times.

The system can measure both light and current to eliminate

nuisance operation, and offers an innovative modular design

that allows for simple integration into electrical assemblies,

ideal for both new and retrofit installations. The system also

helps address arc flash safety concerns outlined in National

Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) standard 70E, which covers

employee workplace electrical safety requirements.
