Eaton Transformer Relay ETR-5000-2A1CB1 - Modbus TCP
Part Number: ETR-5000-2A1CB1
Quick Summary
The Eaton transformer relay ETR-5000-2A1CB1 delivers reliable transformer protection and monitoring for industrial power systems. Engineers often struggle with integrating protection devices into existing Ethernet-based architectures without sacrificing clarity or speed of fault isolation. Certification specifics should be confirmed with the manufacturer, but this model supports Modbus TCP or DNP3 TCP/UDP over Ethernet RJ-45 for interoperable communications. In practice, the solution translates to improved asset visibility, faster fault diagnosis, and scalable protection schemes that align with modernization initiatives while reducing field service costs. This combination of protection sophistication and Ethernet connectivity helps justify the value of upgrading to a modern transformer relay in substations and plant switchgear.

FAQs
Begin with the Removable terminals and projection mounting to simplify field wiring. Connect the power supply within the 19-300 Vdc or 40-250 Vac range and set up the Modbus TCP or DNP3 TCP/UDP communications over Ethernet RJ-45. Use the ETR-4000 as the base relay if required, and verify torque specs for all 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs. Plan cable routing to minimize interference and ensure conformity with the Eaton installation guidelines.
The relay supports Modbus TCP or DNP3 TCP/UDP over Ethernet RJ-45, enabling seamless integration with modern SCADA systems and other protection relays. This interoperability supports centralized monitoring, event logging, and remote configuration, reducing on-site visits and accelerating fault analysis while maintaining secure, standards-based communications.
Yes, the unit is designed for transformer protection with multiple sensing inputs and metering-ready capabilities. It provides power protection, voltage and current metering, and differential protection entries through the available input/output configuration. Ensure proper parameter setup and confirm compatibility with your feeder protection philosophy to maximize selectivity and minimize nuisance trips.
The product follows Eaton’s Selling Policy 25-000, which provides a one-year warranty from the installation date or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. For ongoing support, consult Eaton’s partner portal or contact the manufacturer to access datasheets, programming guides, and the E-Series documentation needed for maintenance and upgrades.
