Eaton FDK1L24 Freedom Unitrol MCC - HKD breaker

The 24-inch-wide unit size, 23-inch depth, and 14-inch height combine to deliver a compact motor control center footprint without compromising protection. The 100 A trip rating, supported by HKD circuit breakers, delivers precise overload protection for motors and drives, reducing unplanned downtime on conveyors, pumps, and process equipment. The K-frame feeder design enables modular expansion as line needs grow, supporting scalable control across evolving manufacturing lines. With UL Listed status and Eaton’s manufacturer-specific warranty framework, plants gain predictable performance and regulatory compliance in a single enclosure. From an installation perspective, front-access operation via the slider handle speeds maintenance and component swaps, minimizing lockout time and safety risk. The 24-inch footprint aligns with standard electrical bays, simplifying cabinet integration and wiring harness management. The unit's compatibility with HKD-type breakers ensures readily available replacement parts and streamlined service through Eaton's authorized channels. In practice, this translates to shorter project lead times, lower total installed cost, and higher uptime for critical processes such as packaging lines and automated assembly. Industry-specific context: for mid- to large-scale plants, the Freedom Unitrol family delivers consistent performance across varied loads, with reliable protection for motors in material handling, pumps, and fans. Customers benefit from front-access diagnostics, reduced spare parts diversity, and a common control ethos across sites. The FDK1L24's 24-inch scale and 100 A protection are well suited for systems that demand fast commissioning and easy maintenance, while its UL Listing confirms compliance with essential safety standards. Common objections about upfront costs are offset by long-term ROI from reduced downtime, faster maintenance, and standardized Eaton components that simplify training and procurement.
