Eaton ETR-4000-2A0FA1 Transformer Relay - Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over Fiber Optic ST
Part Number: ETR-4000-2A0FA1
Quick Summary
The Eaton transformer relay protects transformers and enables monitoring in power distribution networks. Engineers often face miscoordination and slow fault isolation when relying on conventional relays, leading to extended downtime and higher maintenance costs. In transformer protection, certifications such as SIL, CE, and IP ratings are critical indicators of safety and reliability; confirm these with Eaton's documentation to ensure suitability for harsh environments and compliance requirements. The ETR-4000-2A0FA1 combines wide input ranges and multi-interface communication to simplify integration with existing SCADA and protection schemes. This model supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber, eight digital inputs, nine outputs, and flexible power ranges, delivering quicker decisions and reduced engineering effort for OEMs and utilities.

FAQs
The ETR-4000-2A0FA1 uses eight digital inputs, nine outputs, and two current sensing inputs, with removable terminals and projection mounting to simplify retrofits. It communicates via Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over fiber ST, allowing straightforward integration with existing protection schemes and SCADA. Ensure input/output mappings align with your protection logic and confirm physical space in the control cabinet.
Key performance features include current protection and metering differential protection, zone selective interlocking (2), and configurable protection logic across 50/60 Hz. The unit supports 5A and 1A current sensing options, enabling precise fault detection and coordinated trips. These capabilities translate to faster fault isolation and improved system reliability in transformer protection applications.
Yes. With eight digital inputs, nine digital outputs, two current sensing inputs, fiber-based Modbus/DNP3 communication, and flexible mounting, this relay is well-suited for both substations and OEM equipment. Its scalable I/O, time synchronization options, and differential protection capability support modern protection schemes while facilitating retrofit campaigns and OEM integration.
The data indicates standard compliance labeling requires confirmation from the manufacturer. For mission-critical and safety-related transformer protection, verify SIL, CE, and appropriate IP enclosure ratings with Eaton documentation before deployment. Confirm the exact certifications for your installation environment to ensure regulatory alignment and system safety.
The integrated diagnostics, remote communication, and scalable I/O reduce field visits and enable faster fault resolution, lowering maintenance costs and downtime. A documented 1-year warranty (with an 18-month shipment window) supports initial deployment costs, while long-term SCADA integration and reduced mis-trips contribute to favorable total cost of ownership in transformer protection programs.
