Eaton Specification Sheet - ETR-4000-2A3GA0
Communication versatility enables seamless SCADA integration with Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU over RS-485, supporting easy integration with diverse control systems and facilitating rapid fault signaling in critical installations. This directly translates to shorter mean time to repair and improved plant reliability in transformer protection applications. The 8 digital inputs and 9 digital outputs provide flexible interlocking and signaling without secondary hardware, helping to reduce wiring complexity and inventory costs while enabling scalable protection schemes for expanding facilities. A wide power-supply range (19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac) and 50/60 Hz operation simplify installation across multiple sites, lowering commissioning time and minimizing the risk of power-supply incompatibilities during retrofits. Removable terminals and semi-flush mounting improve field serviceability, speeding maintenance and mitigating downtime during inspections. Differential protection, current protection, and metering capabilities deliver precise protection and energy insight, supporting compliance and accurate billing and reporting. Zone selective interlocking with two zones enhances fault isolation in transformer banks, enabling faster restoration and improved system availability. Additional I/O options such as Trip Coil Monitor URTD, Sensitive Ground Input, and IRIG-B time synchronization provide advanced control, synchronization, and enhanced reliability in mission-critical environments.

FAQs
Key installation factors include wiring eight digital inputs and nine digital outputs through removable terminals, selecting a semi-flush mounting method, and providing a compatible power supply in the 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac range. The rugged enclosure supports field deployments, with straightforward retrofits on existing switchgear and reduced risk of wiring mistakes during commissioning.
The relay supports Modbus RTU and DNP3 RTU over RS-485 via a D-Sub interface. Configure device addressing and baud rate to match your PLC or RTU, then poll protection status, alarms, and metering data. This interoperability minimizes integration risk and ensures compatibility with a wide range of SCADA systems.
Yes. It provides differential protection, current protection, and metering functions, plus zone selective interlocking across two zones. With eight inputs and nine outputs, operators can implement alarms, trips, and signals for transformer banks, enhancing fault isolation and reducing outage durations in substations and manufacturing environments.
I/O includes Trip Coil Monitor URTD, Sensitive Ground Input, and IRIG-B time synchronization for precise timing in protection schemes. The device also offers 8 inputs and 9 outputs, supporting comprehensive interlocking and signaling strategies within transformer protection schemes and metering workflows.
