FAQs
The ETR-4000-2A2BB0 uses removable terminals and a semi-flush mounting method, enabling straightforward upgrade or retrofit into many existing transformer protection panels. With 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs, it accommodates current protection schemes, while RS-485 Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU interfaces allow direct SCADA integration. For best results, verify physical clearance, terminal accessibility, and compatibility with your PowerPort-E tooling and fieldbus network.
Key specs include 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, current sensing inputs of 2 channels, a power supply range of 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac, and a 50/60 Hz frequency rating. Communications are via Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, with 5 A / 1 A phase current options and a 8/9‑channel I/O set suitable for transformer protection logic and metering tasks.
Yes. The ETR-4000-2A2BB0 supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, enabling reliable integration with SCADA and energy management systems. Its 8 DI / 9 DO I/O, current protection and metering features, and differential protection capability align with typical substation protection schemes, while URTD, Trip Coil Monitor, and IRIG‑B options provide advanced diagnostics and timing synchronization for critical protection logic.
Direct published certifications are not listed in the provided data; Compliances indicate to contact the manufacturer for official ratings. For regulatory alignment, verify CE markings, IP enclosure ratings, and SIL readiness on the official Eaton datasheet prior to purchase. Always confirm warranty terms and field‑installation requirements documented by Eaton to ensure compliance with your facility’s safety and reliability standards.
Expected ROI stems from reduced downtime due to faster fault detection and remote monitoring via RS‑485 communication, plus scalable protection with 8 DI/9 DO I/O and differential protection. Conformal coating and removable terminals lower maintenance costs by improving reliability in harsh environments and simplifying field servicing. The combination of flexible power supply options, IRIG‑B timing support, and Trip Coil Monitor minimizes mis‑trips and extends transformer life, delivering measurable total cost of ownership benefits.
