FAQs
The FDF2MF18 uses a dual feeder design and is compatible with Eaton HFD circuit breakers, allowing it to drop into standard Freedom Unitrol configurations with minimal modification. Its slider handle provides quick access for maintenance, and the 18-inch footprint fits common enclosures. The UL Listed certification helps ensure safety and compliance in your control panel assembly.
The 125/50 A trip rating indicates two protection levels within the same center, enabling primary feeder protection up to 125 A and a secondary protection tier up to 50 A. This supports coordinated overload protection for multiple motor circuits, reducing nuisance trips during start-up and delivering safer, more reliable motor control in moderate-load applications.
Yes. The dual feeder design supports two motor circuits within a single MCC, reducing panel footprint and wiring complexity. The 18-inch size aids enclosure compatibility, and UL Listed certification provides safety assurance for continuous operation in packaging conveyors and process-line drives, improving overall line uptime and maintainability.
UL Listed confirms that the assembly meets established safety standards for electrical control equipment and panel integration. It supports compliance in industrial facilities and helps ensure safe operation, protective enclosure integrity, and proper electrical insulation within standard operating conditions.
Maintenance benefits come from the slider handle design for fast access and the integrated dual feeder arrangement that simplifies diagnostics. The 18-inch footprint fits standard enclosures, reducing retrofit risk. Coupled with Eaton components and UL listing, this unit can lower lifecycle costs, reduce downtime, and improve spare-parts planning for capital projects.
