The eight digital inputs and nine digital outputs enable extensive remote signaling and status reporting, allowing you to automate protection actions and improve fault visibility with minimal wiring. This feature translates to lower MTTR and higher plant availability in substations and OEM equipment, while supporting transformer protection applications with clear, auditable digitial I/O. The two current sensing inputs provide differential and metering capabilities that enhance protection selectivity and energy accounting, which helps reduce nuisance tripping and supports compliance with metering accuracy requirements in industrial facilities. With Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485, integration with SCADA systems becomes straightforward, enabling centralized monitoring, alarm management, and asset optimization across distributed transformers. The broad power supply range (19-300 Vdc and 40-250 Vac) and 50/60 Hz operation ensure seamless compatibility with diverse plant power architectures, minimizing installation time and eliminating the need for extra power conditioning equipment. I/O options such as Sensitive Ground Input, IRIG-B Trip Coil Monitor, and URTD Interface, alongside removable terminals and semi-flush mounting, simplify installation, retrofit, and field upgrades in harsh industrial environments. Zone selective interlocking with 2 channels enhances protection coordination, reducing the risk of cascading trips and improving system reliability in complex substations.

FAQs

Begin with mounting the unit using the semi-flush method, then connect the removable terminals for 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, and 2 current-sensing inputs. Tie the Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU RS485 pair to your SCADA master and configure addressing and baud rate per the Eaton specification sheet. Verify power supply within 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac and ensure proper grounding for sensitive input functions.
The ETR-4000 supports differential protection, current protection, and metering with 2 current sensing inputs. It also offers 8 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs, enabling extensive local control and signaling. Zone Selective Interlocking (2 channels) enhances coordination, reducing miscoordination during transformer faults and improving system reliability.
Yes. Designed as a transformer protection relay, it provides scaleable monitoring, RS485 communication for SCADA integration, and flexible I/O for various protection schemes. Its 50/60 Hz compatibility and wide power range support diverse substation architectures and OEM installations, enabling consistent protection across multiple transformer units.
Compliances are listed as Contact Manufacturer in the data, and formal certification details should be confirmed with Eaton. The model supports industry-standard protection practices, but specific certifications such as SIL, CE, or IP ratings must be requested from the manufacturer for current documentation and project qualification.
The product carries Eaton’s standard warranty policy of one year from installation or 18 months from shipment, whichever comes first. This coverage helps minimize lifecycle risk and reduces total cost of ownership by protecting against early field failures while providing access to Eaton's technical resources for maintenance and updates.
