FAQs
The FTF1H12 is designed as a Type W MCC with a single feeder configuration and slider handle access, suitable for standard Eaton Type W electrical panels. Ensure panel depth clearance is at least 22 inches and confirm the single feeder arrangement aligns with your busbar layout. Verify mounting screw patterns match a 12-inch unit size and respect manufacturer torque specs for the HFD breaker.
A 70 A trip rating indicates the HFD circuit breaker is calibrated to trip on overloads approaching 70 A, protecting motors and wiring from overheating. In practice, this supports reliable startup for typical small- to mid-size motors while limiting nuisance trips in normal startup currents, contributing to longer motor life and reduced maintenance cycles.
Yes, the FTF1H12 is intended for continuous motor control in industrial settings requiring dependable protection and a compact footprint. Its single-feeder design suits lines with limited panel space, while the 70 A protection level supports a range of motor loads common in manufacturing, processing, and packaging lines when paired with proper wiring and enclosure ratings.
The FTF1H12 carries UL Listed certification, signaling compliance with key safety standards for electrical equipment. This designation aids in regulatory audits, reduces the need for redundant safety testing, and simplifies procurement for facilities that require vetted, safety-certified MCC components within Eaton’s Type W family.
The product adheres to Eaton’s warranty framework, offering one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This warranty, combined with Eaton’s technical support, facilitates quick issue resolution, reduces downtime costs, and supports long-term reliability planning for maintenance programs.
