FAQs
FD8415718-4FS is designed to integrate with Eaton B-Line series disconnect enclosures and components. Its ground-mount configuration, 10-gauge carbon steel construction, and hinged cover are compatible with the same mounting footprint and accessory ecosystem used in related B-Line enclosures, enabling standardized assemblies and streamlined field wiring. When planning retrofits, verify hole patterns, grounding provisions, and door alignment to ensure seamless enclosure-to-enclosure connections and secure operation during maintenance windows.
The enclosure measures 84 inches in height, 157 inches in width, and 18 inches in depth, with a 10-gauge carbon steel wall and ANSI 61 gray painted finish. It is a ground-mounted, large multi-door design with no internal mounting provisions, but it includes ground studs on both the door and body for reliable grounding. Bottom knockouts provide flexible cable entry, and the hinged cover simplifies access during service calls.
Yes. FD8415718-4FS supports UL 508A and CSA C22.2 compliance, and it carries a NEMA 12 rating for indoor dust and oil resistance. These certifications assure electrical safety, compatibility with industrial control panels, and reliable performance in regulated facilities such as manufacturing plants and data centers. Always verify the specific control components within the enclosure meet the same certification scope.
The 3-point latching handle provides secure closure with uniform pressure across the door, improving weather seals and tamper resistance. Defeater padlock provisions enable lockout/tagout compatibility, enhancing safety during maintenance. Together, these features reduce autonomic entry points, align with plant safety policies, and support compliant maintenance windows for critical disconnects in high-demand environments.
Regularly inspect the oil-resistant gasket for signs of wear or compression, and replace if gaps or cracks are observed. Clean the gasket seating surfaces to remove dust and debris that could compromise the seal. Ensure hinges and latching hardware move freely, lubricating as recommended by Eaton. Schedule periodic integrity checks of the grounding provisions and verify bottom knockouts and wiring entries remain properly sealed to sustain NEMA 12 protection over time.
