FAQs

The FDF2LB12 is designed for dual-feeder motor control center configurations and fits mid-size panel environments. Its 12 in size and L x W x H footprint (22 in x 25 in x 16 in) support compact installations, while the HFD circuit breaker provides targeted protection for each feeder. It's well-suited for manufacturing lines, conveyors, and pump stations where space optimization and reliable protection are priorities.
The 100/20 A trip rating offers a balanced protection strategy for mixed motor loads. The higher 100 A setting handles inrush and startup surges for larger motors, while the 20 A setting protects smaller feeders from nuisance trips. This configuration reduces downtime due to tripping and helps maintain consistent production, especially in facilities with varying motor loads.
Yes, the FDF2LB12 is UL Listed, indicating it meets established safety standards for electrical equipment. This certification supports compliance with regulatory requirements, simplifies procurement, and provides assurance for safety-critical applications in industrial facilities and regulated environments.
The slider handle mechanism enables quick, tool-free access to the MCC internal components, reducing maintenance time and improving operator safety. In high-demand environments, this feature lowers downtime during routine servicing and component replacements while maintaining secure, controlled operation.
Plan for a footprint of approximately 22 inches in length, 25 inches in width, and 16 inches in height to accommodate the dual-feeder design and HFD breakers. The 12-inch unit size supports denser panel layouts, facilitates easier wiring runs, and aligns with standard rack-and-panel mounting practices common in mid-size industrial facilities.
