Dual feeder configuration with an HFD circuit breaker provides higher throughput and safer isolation for multi-motor lines. The business impact is measurable: faster line changes, reduced downtime, and lower risk of single-fault cascades in automation panels. This arrangement is particularly valuable for manufacturing and packaging lines where load balancing, coordinated protection, and rapid fault isolation keep production moving and protect equipment investments. Slider handle operation enables rapid, tool-free sectional isolation during maintenance. The business value is faster commissioning, safer panel work, and improved operator confidence. In practice, technicians appreciate the tactile feedback, clear visual indicators, and reduced risk of accidental energization when reconfiguring the feeder sections, even in cramped electrical rooms. 12-inch unit size provides higher panel density without compromising accessibility. The impact is compact control rooms, easier retrofits, and better space planning for new builds. This makes the FDF2LD12 attractive for facilities upgrading older MCCs and for OEMs designing compact control panels for space-constrained environments, while preserving ample space for wiring, labeling, and future expansion. UL Listed certification supports safety compliance and streamlines audits in regulated environments. The benefit is smoother procurement, clearer safety qualification, and easier integration into customer specifications. This certification also underpins reliability expectations across industries, ensuring consistent performance in harsh manufacturing floors and automation cells. Trip rating of 100/30 A offers flexible protection for mixed motor loads and supports selective coordination. The application includes conveyors, mixers, and compressing stages in automotive or food and beverage lines, where starts are frequent but load varies. This capability helps prevent nuisance trips and supports stable, predictable motor performance. Compatibility with the Eaton Freedom Unitrol family simplifies installation, stocking, and maintenance. The advantage is standard wiring diagrams, common accessories, and streamlined commissioning. With a slider mechanism and a 12-inch module, field technicians experience quicker panel assembly, more reliable long-term operation, and easier upgrades in a growing industrial footprint.

FAQs

Install the FDF2LD12 in a dedicated motor control center chassis designed for dual feeder configurations. Verify panel space for the 22 in depth, 16 in height, and 25 in width footprint, and align with existing Eaton wiring diagrams. Use the slider handle to isolate sections during commissioning and routine maintenance, and ensure compatible bus bars and mounting hardware are in place.
The FDF2LD12 uses an HFD circuit breaker with a 100/30 A trip rating. This configuration provides primary protection for dual feed motors and allows selective coordination when paired with other protective devices. Ensure the protection scheme matches motor full-load currents and start-up surges, consulting Eaton's specification sheet for wiring and installation guidance.
Yes. The FDF2LD12 is designed for manufacturing and packaging line panels needing compact, high-density control. Its 12-inch unit size, dual feeder, and slider handle support efficient control and safe isolation for conveyors and automated lines. Verify compatibility with your existing Unitrol family and confirm mounting clearance in your control room.
The unit is UL Listed, confirming compliance with electrical safety and performance standards. This supports audits, supplier qualification, and regulatory requirements for industrial control panels. When specifying FDF2LD12, reference the catalog number and UL listing in your bill of materials to streamline procurement and commissioning.
Maintenance and reliability benefits come from reduced downtime due to safe, intuitive operation and robust protection. The dual feeder arrangement simplifies fault isolation, while the 12-inch module supports dense panel layouts. Over time, this can lower total cost of ownership by speeding maintenance, reducing interface errors, and extending the service life of related motors and drives.
