Eaton transformer relay ETR-5000-2B1GA1 - Modbus RTU over RS-485
Part Number: ETR-5000-2B1GA1
Quick Summary
Eaton transformer relay is a protection device that monitors transformer health and protects power networks in industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle with coordinating protection schemes, achieving fast fault isolation, and enabling secure remote diagnostics across distributed assets. Common industry certifications include CE marking and SIL-ready configurations, while IP-rated enclosures may be specified by region. The ETR-5000-2B1GA1 combines robust protection with scalable Modbus RTU/DNP3 RTU communication, supporting easy integration into existing control architectures. This translates to lower downtime, faster maintenance, and a clear path to compliance while enabling efficient transformer protection and metering within OEM and retrofit projects.

Eaton Specification Sheet - ETR-5000-2B1GA1
Eight digital inputs and nine digital outputs provide flexible protection logic in a compact package. This feature reduces panel wiring and wiring errors while enabling fast trip decisions, improving reliability for transformer protection in switchgear, substations, and OEM equipment where space is at a premium. Two analog inputs and two analog outputs, plus two current sensing inputs, enable accurate metering and protection logic with reduced reliance on external instrumentation, lowering installation costs and accelerating commissioning. Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485 delivers robust fieldbus connectivity, simplifying integration with SCADA or DCS and enabling secure remote diagnostics for transformers in distributed architectures. A broad power-supply range of 19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac with 50/60 Hz support ensures compatibility across diverse plant electrical systems, reducing inventory and enabling rapid deployment in both new builds and upgrades. Removable terminals and projection mounting streamline wiring and installation, shrinking commissioning time and easing field service. Optional I/O features such as Sensitive Ground Input, Trip Coil Monitor, URTD Interface, and IRIG-B timing expand protection schemes for critical assets, delivering safer operation and easier regulatory compliance in utilities and industrial networks.

FAQs
Begin by verifying the panel’s voltage range matches the relay’s power supply options (19–300 Vdc or 40–250 Vac) and set the mounting to the projection style. Use the removable terminals for clean wiring of 8 digital inputs, 9 outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. Then configure Modbus RTU over RS-485 for SCADA integration and perform a functional check with Eaton’s datasheet guidance.
Key specs include 8 digital inputs, 9 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 2 current sensing inputs, and a shared power range of 19–300 Vdc / 40–250 Vac at 50/60 Hz. It supports Modbus RTU or DNP3 RTU over RS-485, with zone selective interlocking (2), enabling precise coordination and fast fault isolation within transformer protection schemes.
Yes. The relay is designed for transformer protection with metering and protection capabilities, including Modbus/DNP3 communication for SCADA integration. Its flexible I/O, multiple protection functions, and mounting options make it suitable for substations, switchgear assemblies, and OEM equipment retrofit projects seeking centralized protection and diagnostics.
Compliances are listed as Manufacturer-verified for this model. Verify exact regulatory certifications (for example CE and SIL readiness) with Eaton for your region and application, and confirm enclosure IP ratings if external protection is a requirement. Always document compliance in your commissioning package to satisfy audits and safety standards.
The ETR-5000-2B1GA1 consolidates protection, metering, and communication in a single device, reducing panel complexity and spare parts. Enhanced remote diagnostics and SCADA integration enable quicker fault detection and repairs, lowering downtime and maintenance costs while improving system availability across utilities and industrial facilities.
