Eaton ETR-4000-2A2GB1 Transformer Relay - Modbus RTU
Part Number: ETR-4000-2A2GB1
Quick Summary
ETR-4000 transformer relay provides transformer protection and monitoring for industrial power systems. This device is designed to streamline protection decisions while integrating into existing control networks. Engineers often face challenges wiring protection logic that communicates reliably over Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU via RS-485, and keeping field hardware robust in varying plant conditions. While compliance details are listed as Contact Manufacturer, many Eaton E-Series relays are used in regions requiring CE marking, SIL qualifications, or IP-rated enclosures—regions vary, so confirm applicability in your market. This model supports 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs across a 19-300 Vdc / 40-250 Vac power range, with conformal coating for harsh environments, enabling scalable, cost-effective protection and monitoring across transformer fleets.
