FAQs
FNJ1L18 is designed for compact spaces with an 18 inch width and a 22 inch depth. When retrofitting, verify clearance for rotary handle operation, accessibility for routine maintenance, and compatibility with neighboring panels. Confirm upstream protection coordination for a 100 A trip rating and ensure mounting surface supports UL Listed safety clearances per local codes.
The 100 A trip rating provides fundamental overcurrent protection for motor feeders and helps coordinate with downstream protective devices. This reduces fault energy transfer, minimizes arc flash exposure during startup, and improves service life for downstream motors and contactors. For high-demand lines, verify coordination curves with the HJD circuit breakers to balance protection and continuity of operation.
Yes. FNJ1L18 is configured as a J-frame feeder and uses HJD circuit breakers, aligning with Eaton’s 9800 Series design. This compatibility streamlines part replacement, simplifies preventive maintenance, and supports standardized component sourcing across Eaton MCCs. When planning upgrades, confirm mechanical fit and electrical clearance to ensure seamless integration with existing bus and regulation hardware.
FNJ1L18 carries UL Listed certification, signaling adherence to recognized safety standards for industrial control panels. This designation aids in regulatory audits and customer approvals, particularly in sectors with rigorous safety requirements. Always cross-check local electrical codes and facility-specific standards to confirm accelerator and panel practices meet site expectations.
The FNJ1L18 reduces installation time and simplifies maintenance thanks to a compact 18 in unit size, straightforward rotary handle operation, and a standard 100 A protection scheme. Savings come from faster commissioning, reduced space needs, and fewer spare parts. Regular checks on the HJD breaker and feeder connections help sustain uptime and extend asset life.
