Dual feeder configuration with an HFD circuit breaker provides concurrent supply paths and robust overload protection. Impact: reduces wiring complexity, short-circuit risk, and downtime by isolating faults quickly and enabling easier maintenance. Application: ideal for mid-sized manufacturing panels that require high availability and scalable load distribution. The 18-inch unit size, combined with a 22 in depth and 25 in width, optimizes footprint while maintaining enclosure integrity. Impact: preserves panel real estate for additional devices and simplifies cabinet retrofits in retrofit projects. Application: suited for control rooms and machine centers where space is at a premium and future expansion is anticipated. Slider handle operation enables fast, secure access to the MCC front, improving operator safety during bus bar and breaker maintenance. Impact: reduces cycle time for servicing and minimizes exposure to live components. Application: advantageous in high-maintenance environments like packaging lines or process plants that demand quick turnarounds. Trip rating of 100/80 A provides tailored protection for varying motor loads and startup surges. Impact: helps protect equipment and wiring while supporting utility coordination for demand management. UL Listed certification confirms compliance with safety standards, reducing qualification risk for panel builds. Application: supports motors and drives in general manufacturing, where load profiles vary between shifts. Warranty protection follows Eaton's policy: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment. Impact: lowers total cost of ownership by shifting risk away from the customer during early life. Application: supports procurement programs that align with compliance and service expectations, particularly for capital projects. With a total weight of 33 lb and standard dimensions, the unit is straightforward to lift and install in existing enclosures. Impact: minimizes handling hazards and helps crews meet safety and ergonomics guidelines. Application: fits in typical 18-inch MCC bays for modern automation lines and panel builds.
