Dual feeder design concentrates power distribution in a single enclosure, reducing wiring runs and panel depth. This translates to faster installations and fewer field wiring faults, improving project timelines for machinery like packaging lines and automated conveyors. The 150/20 A trip rating supports coordinated protection across multiple motors, enabling scalable control without additional hardware. HFD circuit breaker type provides selective protection and quick fault isolation, helping minimize downtime during motor stall or overload events. Engineers can size feeders with confidence, knowing the protection scheme aligns with common industrial motor configurations and service life requirements. This helps reduce unplanned maintenance and extends equipment uptime in assembly and handling lines. Slider handle operation offers fast, tool-free access to the MCC, simplifying scheduled maintenance and on-site testing. Maintenance teams appreciate the smooth, repeatable action that reduces misoperation risk during routine tests. This aligns with lean manufacturing goals by shortening changeovers and improving line readiness. 18-inch unit size with a 22 in depth and 25 in width delivers a compact footprint suitable for crowded MCC spaces. The enclosure-friendly dimensions enable easier retrofits and more flexible layout planning in existing facilities. Operators benefit from a lighter overall weight of about 33 lb, facilitating installation and relocation within factory environments. UL Listed certification confirms compliance with essential safety standards for industrial control equipment. The included Eaton warranty policy guarantees coverage for one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, reducing risk in long-term operations. Access to Eaton's specification sheets and technical data supports accurate integration and future scalability in modern automation systems. Compatibility with Freedom Unitrol and standard MCC enclosures ensures straightforward installation in new builds or upgrades. The dual feeder design supports expansion without reconfiguring existing panels, and the included product specifications match typical installation practices in automotive, packaging, or material handling applications.

FAQs
Plan enclosure mounting with the 18 in unit size, 22 in depth, 25 in width footprint and an approximate 33 lb weight. Ensure adequate clearance for wiring, access to the slider handle, and compliant spacing per UL-listed equipment guidelines. The dual-feeder arrangement reduces wiring runs and simplifies conductor management, speeding up commissioning in packaging lines or conveyors.
The 150/20 A trip rating provides primary protection at the main feeder and branch protection at the 20 A level. This enables selective coordination across multiple motors, reducing the risk of cascading trips during overloads and enabling quicker fault isolation. It supports reliable operation in continuous-motion equipment while minimizing downtime after a fault.
Yes. The FDF2NB18 is designed as part of the Freedom Unitrol family, featuring a slider handle for fast access and a compact 18-inch footprint that fits standard MCC enclosures. With HFD breakers and dual feeders, it integrates smoothly into existing control architectures, reducing rework and enabling scalable upgrades without extensive rewiring.
The unit is UL Listed, indicating compliance with essential safety standards for industrial control equipment. This certification helps simplify procurement and installation in regulated environments, supports electrical codes compliance, and mitigates risk during audits and inspections.
Maintenance benefits include easy access via the slider handle, straightforward wiring in a single enclosure, and compact physical dimensions that reduce service time. The warranty (one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment) reduces risk during early operation. Over time, reduced wiring complexity and centralized motor control lower lifecycle costs and downtime.
