UL Listed protection paired with an HFD circuit breaker and a precise 20 A trip rating provides dependable fault interruption and code-compliant protection for motor circuits. This translates to fewer unplanned outages, longer motor life, and predictable protection margins in demanding environments. Applications include single-feeder layouts for conveyors, pumps, and processing lines where reliable, fast trip and clear protection boundaries are essential. Compact 12-inch unit size with Type W design reduces overall footprint, freeing space in crowded panels and shortening installation time. The smaller enclosure simplifies shipping and on-site handling, lowering freight costs and risk of damage in transit. For retrofit projects, the compact form factor accelerates panel upgrades without extensive restructuring. Slider handle operation delivers fast, confident access to the feeder compartment, minimizing commissioning time and reducing misalignment during maintenance. This ergonomic feature improves technician safety and streamlines open-close cycles during start-up checks. In high-volume plants, quick feeder service translates into shorter downtime and higher overall equipment effectiveness. With a weight of 27 lb and dimensions of 22 in length, 16 in height, and 25 in width, installation planning becomes straightforward and lifting requirements stay within standard facility capabilities. The robust enclosure supports reliability in typical industrial environments while keeping a compact profile for multi-stack MCC installations. Warranty terms specify one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first, aiding maintenance budgeting and service planning. This policy reduces ownership risk for procurement and supports lifecycle-cost decisions when comparing MCC solutions. UL Listed certification adds confidence for project engineers seeking compliant, protected motor circuits. This combination helps stakeholders during audits.

FAQs
FTF1B12 is a Type W, single-feeder MCC with a 12 inch unit size and slider handle. It is designed to drop into Eaton Type W systems and aligns with standard UL Listed protection and an HFD breaker, simplifying field integration with existing MCC cabinets. This means fewer adapters, faster migrations, and reduced wiring errors during panel upgrades.
The 20 A trip rating paired with an HFD circuit breaker governs motor-load protection, especially during startup in common 1–2 HP applications. Use motor load calculations and inrush profiles to validate suitability, ensuring the protection scheme keeps currents within the breaker’s trip window while avoiding nuisance trips during normal operation.
Yes. The 12 inch footprint, along with the 22 in depth and 25 in width, supports both new builds and retrofits. The single-feeder configuration simplifies integration with existing feeders, and the slider handle speeds commissioning in spaces where panel real estate is limited. These traits make it a practical choice for upgrading existing installations.
UL Listed is the primary certification, signaling conformity with recognized safety standards for motor-control equipment. This validation supports code compliance and reduces audit-time risk for projects in regulated environments. While UL Listed is the stated certification, always verify regional requirements for installations outside UL jurisdictions.
The 27 lb weight, durable enclosure, and slider handle minimize service time and ergonomic strain during routine checks. The warranty (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment) adds financial protection, aiding maintenance budgeting and life-cycle planning. This combination helps procurement quantify total cost of ownership and supports spare-parts strategies for maximum uptime.
