Quick Summary

Eaton transformer relay is a protective device that monitors transformers and protects them in industrial power systems. Operators face outages caused by transformer faults or miscoordination when protection schemes aren’t visible or up-to-date. This family supports reliability with 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, 2 current-sensing inputs and optional interfaces, plus RS-485 Modbus/DNP3 and Ethernet connectivity. For compliance, CE marking, SIL ratings, and IP protection should be confirmed with Eaton for your geographic and application context. By combining robust protection with remote diagnostics, Power metering capabilities, and configurable protection logic, this relay delivers measurable uptime improvements and streamlined maintenance workflows.

FAQs

Install the ETR-5000-2A2IB1 by selecting the 19-300Vdc or 40-250Vac power option, connect the 8 digital inputs and 9 outputs to the protection logic, and wire Modbus/ DNP3 communications over RS-485 or Ethernet for your SCADA system. The unit uses removable terminals and projection mounting to simplify retrofit into existing panels, reducing commissioning time and risk.
Key specs include a power supply range of 19-300Vdc / 40-250Vac, 50/60 Hz operation, 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, 2 current-sensing inputs, and Modbus/DNP3 communications over RS-485 or TCP/IP over Ethernet. It also features Trip Coil Monitor, IRIG-B timing, and a Sensitive Ground Input for enhanced protection accuracy.
Yes, its 8/9 I/O density, current sensing, and multiple communication options support robust transformer protection in demanding environments. Its conformal-coated boards and removable terminals improve reliability and serviceability in harsh plants, while Zone Selective Interlocking and URTD interfaces enhance protection coordination.
Compliance data for CE, SIL, and IP ratings is not listed in the provided data. For your region and application, confirm with Eaton to obtain the exact certifications and regulatory approvals applicable to your installation and safety requirements.
With remote monitoring via RS-485 and Ethernet, integrated metering interfaces, and Power metering/Diagnostics references, maintenance can be scheduled proactively, reducing unexpected outages. The one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) provides coverage during early lifecycle, and the modular I/O simplifies field upgrades without replacement of the base unit.
