Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dual feeder configuration enables staged motor control and improved reliability, reducing unplanned downtime in production lines. This translates to shorter downtime and higher overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) for manufacturing facilities seeking consistent throughput. Application: mid-size motor control centers in packaging, process automation, and conveyors benefit from simplified feeder management and scalable expansion. Feature → Business Impact → Application: HFD circuit breaker protection provides fast, reliable interruption during fault conditions, preserving equipment and extending motor life. This is essential in heavy-duty automation environments where uptime is critical and repair costs are high. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 18-inch unit size with a compact footprint maximizes panel real estate, enabling retrofits and installations in constrained spaces without sacrificing protection. Applications include retrofit projects in existing MCC rooms and new plant builds with limited enclosure space. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Slider handle operation reduces maintenance time and accelerates access to internal components, supporting faster inspections and servicing in shift work environments. Applications include routine checks on lines with frequent motor cycling and quick fault isolation. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification and Eaton design integrity provide regulatory compliance for industrial facilities, simplifying procurement and audit readiness. Applications span automotive, food & beverage, and material handling sectors where safety listings are mandatory.

FAQs

The FDF2KL18 is designed for standard dual-feeder configurations within Eaton’s Freedom Unitrol line, offering an 18-inch unit footprint that aligns with common MCC dimensions. It supports straightforward retrofits and new installations, with a slider handle for rapid access and maintenance. Verify mounting footprint (22 in depth, 25 in width) to ensure a seamless fit.
Key specs include a 90/100 A trip rating and an HFD circuit breaker, dual feeder configuration, and 18-inch size. These specs enable effective motor protection and distribution for mid-range loads while maintaining a compact panel profile. The 22 in depth and 25 in width optimize space without compromising protection or accessibility.
Yes, for many mid- to high-demand lines, the dual feeder design and 90/100 A trip rating provide robust protection and load distribution. However, confirm motor inrush, continuous current, and duty cycle against the unit’s ratings. For exceptionally heavy loads, verify compatibility with your MCC bus ratings and consider staged feeder configurations.
This unit is UL Listed, indicating compliance with established safety standards for electrical equipment. Ensure installation follows the Eaton specification sheet and local electrical codes. Maintain the listing by using compatible components and conducting routine safety inspections as part of your audit and maintenance plan.
The FDF2KL18 contributes to ROI through reduced installation footprint, faster maintenance via the slider handle, and improved uptime from reliable dual-feeder protection. A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment, whichever occurs first) complements ongoing maintenance, while UL Listed compliance supports smoother audits and procurement efficiency.
