Dual feeder configuration enables independent feeder control and balanced load sharing. This arrangement reduces the risk of a single point of failure interrupting critical operations, improving overall line uptime in demanding production environments. With dual feeders, maintenance and upgrades can be performed on one feeder while the other remains powered, supporting continuous operation. Applications include conveyors, pumps, fans, and other motor-driven processes where reliability matters and downtime costs escalate. Compact 18-inch unit size with 22 in depth and 25 in width ensures space-efficient integration. This footprint simplifies panel layouts, reduces cabling length, and speeds installation by minimizing enclosure real estate and routing challenges. The lighter weight (33 lb) facilitates handling during assembly and field retrofit projects. In retrofit scenarios, the smaller profile helps align with existing equipment racks and allows easier service access without compromising protective coverage. HFD circuit breaker protection provides fast interrupt for overloads, improving safety and selectivity. The 90/80 A trip rating supports varied motor loads, enabling better coordination with downstream protections and reducing nuisance trips during startup in pumps and conveyors. This translates to lower maintenance costs and higher plant availability. Slider handle operation enhances accessibility and maintenance efficiency. Technicians can perform inspections, replacements, or testing with minimal disassembly, reducing downtime and exposure. The design also supports safer commissioning and periodic testing in high-throughput environments where quick access matters. UL Listed status and Eaton’s warranty framework help limit risk in procurement and lifecycle budgeting. The combination of compliance certainty and predictable service costs is especially valuable for regulated facilities and long-life automation deployments.

FAQs

Plan for a 22 inch depth and 25 inch width footprint, ensuring the panel enclosure is UL-listed and has adequate clearance for service access. Follow Eaton wiring diagrams for the dual feeder setup, verify slider-handle accessibility, and account for a total unit weight of 33 lb to manage site handling and mounting accurately.
Dual feeders enable independent control and balanced load sharing, reducing the risk of downtime from a single feeder fault. This supports faster commissioning, easier maintenance on one feeder while the other remains powered, and better load management for conveyors, pumps, and other motor-driven processes in demanding production environments.
Yes. The unit uses an HFD circuit breaker with a 90/80 A trip rating, providing fast protection against overloads and short circuits. This arrangement supports reliable coordination with downstream devices and helps minimize nuisance trips during startup for motor feeders in typical industrial applications.
The FDF2KJ18 is UL Listed, which demonstrates compliance with fundamental electrical safety standards. This designation supports regulatory acceptance and insurance requirements for many facilities. Always verify local, industry-specific codes and maintain documentation showing the UL listing as part of the procurement and commissioning process.
The dual feeder design reduces downtime risk, while the slider-handle operation speeds maintenance and inspections. The compact footprint lowers installation and space costs, and UL Listing along with Eaton warranty provides predictable lifecycle budgeting. Overall, expect lower maintenance labor, faster retrofits, and improved plant availability across automation lines.
