FAQs
To install the FDK1T24, verify panel clearance and mounting rail compatibility for a 24-inch unit. Mount the enclosure, connect the K-frame feeder wiring to the HKD breaker, and attach the slider handle mechanism for manual control. Follow Eaton wiring diagrams, perform insulation checks, and then power up to test protection and trip coordination in a controlled sequence.
Yes. The FDK1T24 is designed around a K-frame feeder configuration, compatible with standard K-frame components used in Freedom Unitrol installations. Confirm enclosure width and depth, ensure the HKD breaker alignment matches, and verify feeder components share matching wire sizes and torque specs. Consult Eaton wiring diagrams if upgrading from a different model.
FDK1T24 uses an HKD circuit breaker rated for 300 A. This provides robust overload protection for large motors and startup loads, helping to minimize nuisance trips. If your loads exceed 300 A briefly, coordinate protection with upstream devices or consider an alternative unit size to maintain selective coordination.
The FDK1T24 is UL Listed, indicating compliance with recognized safety standards for motor control centers. This certification reduces procurement risk, supports electrical code compliance, and eases inspector review during commissioning. In regulated facilities and critical processes, UL Listing demonstrates that the unit meets established safety and performance criteria for large feeders.
Eaton provides a one-year warranty from the date of installation or an eighteen-month warranty from shipment, whichever occurs first. This policy covers manufacturing defects and includes access to Eaton’s parts and field service support. Use the warranty in conjunction with the Specification Sheet for maintenance planning and uptime optimization.
