Eaton ETR-4000-2A2FA0 Transformer Relay - Modbus RTU over ST
Part Number: ETR-4000-2A2FA0
Quick Summary
The Eaton transformer relay ETR-4000-2A2FA0 provides transformer protection for industrial power systems. Engineers often struggle to reliably protect transformers while integrating protection data into Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU networks for centralized monitoring. Compliances are determined by the manufacturer; contact Eaton to confirm CE, IP, or SIL approvals for your region and application. This model supports 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and current sensing options of 5A and 1A, along with a 19–300 Vdc / 40–250 Vac power range and 50/60 Hz compatibility, plus fiber optic Modbus or DNP3 communication. The combination of flexible I/O, robust protection features, and secure remote communications translates into improved uptime, easier regulatory reporting, and reduced maintenance costs for transformer protection projects.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ETR-4000-2A2FA0
I/O flexibility and protection logic enable complex, customized protection schemes that directly reduce outage durations; with 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, and 2 current sensing inputs, you can tailor protection sequences to specific transformer configurations. The business impact is clear: faster fault isolation and clearer diagnostics translate to lower maintenance costs and higher equipment availability in substations and industrial plants. This capability is particularly valuable in facilities with tight control rooms or limited space, where semi-flush mounting and removable terminals speed up commissioning and future wiring changes. The application spans plant-wide transformer protection, metering, and interlocking, supporting accurate fault data to feed SCADA systems and improve asset management. Long-term ROI comes from reduced downtime and proactive maintenance driven by precise event reporting.

FAQs
The ETR-4000-2A2FA0 uses a semi-flush mounting method with removable terminals, designed to speed up installation and wiring changes. It supports eight digital inputs and nine outputs, providing flexible wiring for transformer protection schemes. This layout helps technicians reduce commissioning time and simplifies future reconfiguration when protection logic needs updating.
This relay offers Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU communication over fiber optic ST, enabling secure, interference-free data exchange between the relay and SCADA or monitoring systems. The fiber interface supports long-distance links common in substations, improving reliability of status reports, alarms, and remote diagnostics.
The unit functions as a transformer protection relay with current protection and metering, differential protection, and a Trip Coil Monitor. It also supports Zone Selective Interlocking and a Sensitive Ground Input option, enabling fast, selective tripping and robust fault isolation while maintaining system reliability in distributed power networks.
The relay accepts a wide power supply range of 19–300 VDC and 40–250 VAC, with a frequency rating of 50/60 Hz. This flexibility supports integration across varied plant voltages and retrofits where existing infrastructure uses different supply standards, reducing the need for additional power conversion hardware.
