FAQs
FRF2ND18 is designed for straightforward integration within Eaton F10 MCC frames. Confirm frame mounting pattern, ensure the dual feeder alignment matches existing busbars, and utilize the lever/slider handle to lockout before wiring. Consider available clearance for cable routing and plan for the 22 in depth and 25 in width to avoid congestion. Typical installation steps include verifying catalog number FRF2ND18, connecting feeder cables to HFD circuit breakers, and performing a final safety check per UL Listed guidelines.
The 150/30 A trip rating provides two selectable protection thresholds to accommodate different motor loads and startup surges. The HFD circuit breaker offers high fault protection with fast response to overcurrents, helping prevent conductor damage and downtime. In practice, coordinate protection with downstream devices to minimize nuisance trips while preserving system safety during startup and fault conditions.
Yes, FRF2ND18 carries UL Listed certification, confirming compliance with essential electrical safety standards for control centers. This designation is particularly important in regulated manufacturing environments where safety certifications influence procurement and installation practices. Always verify site-specific requirements and maintain documentation for audits and maintenance records.
FRF2ND18 excels in industries with compact MCC rooms and mixed-load motor applications, such as packaging lines, material handling, and process automation zones. Its dual feeder design supports staging and cross-connection without large panel rewiring, while the lever/slider mechanism facilitates quick, safe servicing. It’s particularly advantageous where space, ease of maintenance, and scalable control are priorities.
Maintenance benefits stem from the lever/slider operation for faster access, UL Listed safety, and a 1-year to 18-month Eaton warranty window that helps manage ownership costs. The compact footprint reduces cabling complexity and spare parts inventories, lowering downtime during servicing. Over the equipment lifecycle, you gain improved uptime, simpler upgrades, and predictable maintenance planning, contributing to a favorable return on investment.
