Product Overview

General Description

The Eaton FP-5000 Protective Relay is a multifunction panel

mounted, microprocessor-based relay, designed for both ANSI

and IEC applications (Figure 1). It is a self-contained device which

operates from either ac or dc control power and provides true

rms sensing of each phase and ground current. Only one relay is

required per 3-phase circuit. Current, voltage and operator

selectable protective functions are integral to each device.The FP

5000 is designed to protect the mains, ties or feeders at any

voltage level. It is primarily applied on medium voltage

distribution circuits up to 69 kV. The FP-5000 monitors several

primary and derived electrical parameters of the system.
