Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dual feeder design with an HFD circuit breaker enables independent control and fault isolation between feeds, reducing downtime and improving safety during startup and maintenance. This translates to higher line availability and faster changeovers on conveyors, pumps, and packaging equipment across mid-sized facilities. Application: packaging lines, assembly cells, and machine groups that demand reliable per-feed protection without sacrificing panel footprint. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Lever/slider handle operation speeds manual interventions and test procedures, minimizing tool requirements and exposure during maintenance. Benefit: safer, more efficient lockout/tagout cycles and streamlined firmware or accessory changes. Application: routine diagnostics and commissioning across automated lines and process equipment.Feature → Business Impact → Application: 18-inch unit size with 22 in depth, 16 in height, and 25 in width delivers a compact footprint suitable for dense panels and restricted layouts. Benefit: easier panel planning, faster fit-ups, and reduced enclosure modifications. Application: new MCC installations in retrofit projects where space is at a premium and existing bus work must align with tight footprints.Feature → Business Impact → Application: 20/150 A trip rating supports scalable protection for dual feeders while maintaining coordination with downstream loads. Benefit: precise overload protection and minimized nuisance trips on multi-channel motor circuits. Application: industrial drives, pumps, and conveyors requiring robust yet flexible protection schemes.Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification provides regulatory confidence and streamlined safety documentation. Benefit: simplified inspection readiness and compliance alignment for OEMs and integrators. Application: panel builds for automotive, food & beverage, and general manufacturing environments where safety certification matters.

FAQs
When installing FRF2BN18, verify panel footprint and mounting clearances match an 18-inch unit size, with a 22 inch depth, 16 inch height, and 25 inch width footprint. Ensure dual feeder wiring runs are organized to minimize crossover and maintain clean bus routing. The lever/slider handle enables quick access during commissioning, while the HFD breaker provides reliable protective coordination.
The 20/150 A trip rating supports per-feed protection, allowing the secondary feeder to trip at 20 A while the main feeder can trip up to 150 A. This coordination minimizes nuisance trips on startup and during transient loads, enhances fault isolation between feeders, and helps protect motors and drives without disabling the entire MCC in packaging or conveyor lines.
Yes. FRF2BN18 combines a compact 18-inch unit with dual feeders, a robust HFD breaker, and a lever/slider handle for rapid maintenance. Its UL Listed certification supports safety compliance, while the 20/150 A trip rating accommodates a range of motor sizes typical in packaging lines and conveyors. The unit’s footprint and easy serviceability reduce downtime in line start-ups and changeovers.
FRF2BN18 carries UL Listed certification, indicating adherence to recognized electrical safety standards. This certification simplifies regulatory reviews, aids in customer inspections, and supports compliance with typical industrial panel requirements. While other certifications are not listed, UL listing provides a solid baseline for safe operation in most factory environments.
ROI benefits come from faster installation, reduced wiring complexity, and improved fault isolation reducing downtime. The lever/slider handle and compact 18-inch unit size streamline maintenance and servicing, while dual feeders offer scalable protection for future motor additions. The included UL Listed certification supports easier compliance documentation, contributing to lower risk during audits and faster project approvals.
