Dual feeder design with an HFD circuit breaker provides enhanced fault isolation and safer serviceability by minimizing interstack cross-talk between motor circuits. This architectural choice reduces one-off fault propagation, simplifying troubleshooting and maintenance in busy lines. It is particularly beneficial in packaging, plastics, and bottling operations where multiple drives share a compact MCC enclosure, allowing faster fault localization without dismantling equipment. Rotary handle operation delivers positive manual control and clear position indication, speeding commissioning and reducing start-up errors in night-shift operations or tight maintenance windows. The ergonomic control also supports safer lockout-tagout procedures when crews service the line, improving overall plant safety metrics. 18-inch unit size offers a compact footprint ideal for retrofit projects and new builds where panel space is at a premium. The smaller footprint pairs well with 9800 series architectures, enabling smoother upgrades and easier field wiring with standardized Eaton components. 125/70 A trip rating provides robust protection for moderate to high motor loads, enabling reliable start-ups and protective coordination with upstream protections. This rating helps prevent nuisance trips on peak load events while maintaining protection against short circuits and motor faults. UL Listed certification confirms compliance with recognized safety standards, easing procurement and qualification for regulated environments. Compatibility with Eaton 9800 series infrastructure ensures consistent interfaces, spare parts availability, and simplified training for maintenance teams. Together these characteristics translate to measurable outcomes: reduced downtime, faster maintenance cycles, and lower lifecycle costs over the equipment’s service life. For engineers and procurement, the FNF2MH18 supports standardization, reuse across multiple lines, and a clear vendor relationship with Eaton for ongoing support.

FAQs
Plan for a dual-feeder configuration with proper enclosure space to accommodate the 18-inch unit size. Ensure mounting clearance around the rotary handle and HFD breaker, and verify bus bar alignment with existing Eaton 9800 series panels. Include appropriate wiring harnesses and conductors sized for 125/70 A protection. Refer to the Eaton specification sheet for layout diagrams and recommended torque values.
Key specs include a 125/70 A trip rating on the HFD circuit breaker, dual feed type, rotary handle operation, and an 18-inch unit dimension. The product is UL Listed and ships in a 22 in depth, 16 in height, and 25 in width footprint with a nominal weight of 33 lb. It is designed for compact, dependable motor control in demanding environments.
Yes. The FNF2MH18 is explicitly designed as a dual-feeder motor control center, enabling separate motor circuits within a single MCC housing. This arrangement improves fault isolation, simplifies maintenance, and supports coordinated protection strategies for conveyors, pumps, and processing lines. Ensure compatibility with your existing bus and protective devices, and follow installation guidelines in Eaton’s datasheet.
The FNF2MH18 is UL Listed, providing recognized safety compliance for industrial electrical assemblies. This certification supports regulatory qualification, supplier confidence, and streamlined procurement in regulated environments. The UL listing also indicates that the design meets established safety performance criteria essential for panel builders and maintenance teams.
Warranty terms follow Eaton policy 25-000: one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever comes first. This coverage supports early-life performance expectations and provides assurance during commissioning. For ongoing support, users can rely on Eaton’s technical resources and the availability of replacement parts within the 9800 series ecosystem.
