Dual feeder with an HFD circuit breaker enables tailored load distribution and precise fault isolation. This arrangement reduces risk of cascading faults and minimizes downtime during commissioning or maintenance. It is well suited for mid-size motor loads on conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing lines, water treatment, and building automation systems. Slider handle operation provides quick, safe access to internal components while maintaining secure interlocks and mechanical positioning. The ergonomic design reduces maintenance time, minimizes exposure to energized parts, and supports faster troubleshooting during routine servicing. This feature is especially valuable in plants with frequent motor starts, variable-speed drives, or cleanroom environments where access matters. Compact 18-inch unit size with 22 in depth, 25 in width, and 16 in height delivers a space-saving MCC footprint without compromising accessibility or wiring organization. The smaller footprint supports retrofits and panel upgrades in constrained electrical rooms or tight switchgear aisles, while preserving alignment with standard mounting patterns. Operators benefit from a clear, organized layout that improves wiring hygiene and future scalability. UL Listed certification underpins electrical safety and aligns with common industrial codes and commissioning practices. The unit supports a 100/125 A service rating and dual feeder configuration while maintaining reliable performance under load and fault conditions. This compliance simplifies approvals during plant audits and reduces engineering time for safety documentation. Standardization across the Eaton Freedom Unitrol line simplifies sourcing, maintenance planning, and spares management, reducing total cost of ownership across multiple sites. Installation is streamlined by consistent mounting patterns, interconnects, and accessory compatibility within the Freedom Unitrol family. For procurement and maintenance teams, this translates into predictable lead times, reduced vendor fragmentation, and easier long-term service planning.

FAQs
Begin by verifying the panel opening matches the 18 in unit footprint and confirm mounting clearance for the dual feeder configuration. Ensure proper wiring routing per the Eaton wiring diagram, secure the slider handle interlocks, and connect to the HFD circuit breaker. Verify torque specs and perform a functional test with protective relays coordinated to the system load profile.
Dual feeders provide flexible distribution to separate motor groups, enabling selective motor control and easier fault isolation. The HFD circuit breaker offers fast protection against overloads and short circuits, improving protective coordination and reducing downtime during faults. This setup is ideal for mid-size motor loads on conveyors, pumps, and fans in moderate-scale applications.
