Quick Summary

Eaton transformer relay ETR-4000-2A2BA1 provides transformer protection and monitoring for industrial power systems. In practice, engineers struggle to coordinate protection settings across devices and to obtain timely, reliable diagnostics for fast fault isolation. Certification details are not listed in this spec; confirm CE, SIL, and IP ratings directly with Eaton before field deployment. Featuring Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS485, eight digital inputs and nine outputs, and a wide power range of 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac, it supports scalable protection across transformer fleets. This combination enables clearer visibility, faster fault isolation, and safer, more reliable transformer operation across demanding environments.
