FAQs

Install the ETR-4000-2A1GB1 by mounting the unit in a suitable enclosure with removable terminals for quick wiring. Connect the Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU interface to the RS-485 network, assign the 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs to the control scheme, and ensure the power supply is within 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac. Use shielded cables for communications and verify proper grounding to minimize noise on the RS-485 lines. The unit’s protection logic is designed to plug into the ETR-4000 base relay framework, simplifying retrofit integration.
The relay offers differential protection, current protection and metering capabilities, with 2 current sensing inputs and 8 digital inputs feeding a comprehensive protection logic. It supports zone selective interlocking (2) to improve selective tripping, and provides 5A/1A phase current sensing, enabling accurate fault detection and fast isolation while minimizing disturbances to nearby equipment.
Yes, it includes conformal coating on circuit boards for better reliability in dusty or humid environments and supports IRIG-B sensitive ground input with Trip Coil Monitor options for enhanced timing accuracy and trip verification. This makes it suitable for industrial substations, outdoor installations, and facilities requiring synchronized protection actions.
The data indicates Compliances: Contact Manufacturer, so you should verify the exact regulatory marks (for example CE or UL) with Eaton based on your region and application. Always confirm certification surface protection, enclosure IP rating, and any region-specific safety standards before deployment to ensure full regulatory compliance.
ROI is driven by reduced downtime through faster fault isolation, simplified SCADA integration via Modbus RTU / DNP3 RTU, and inventory consolidation due to a broad power supply range. The 8/9 I/O configuration plus removable terminals speed installation and future upgrades, while conformal coating and remote monitoring capabilities help extend service intervals and improve protection reliability.
