Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dual feeder with HFD circuit breakers enables independent motor circuits within a single enclosure, reducing wiring complexity and accelerating startup sequencing for conveyors and pumps; this translates to faster line changes and lower installation costs in process facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Slider handle operation provides quick, secure access to the interior, enhancing maintenance safety and reducing mean time to repair for routine inspections and fault isolation in dense MCC rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compact 22 in depth, 16 in height, and 25 in width with a 12 in size enables integration into constrained spaces without compromising protection, making retrofits and plant-wide upgrades feasible in space-limited automation plants. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 15/40 A trip rating delivers tailored motor protection across small to mid-size loads, supporting safe startups and reducing nuisance trips in motors with varying inrush profiles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Listed certification confirms adherence to rigorous safety standards, smoothing procurement and installation in regulated industries while aligning with enterprise compliance goals. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A one-year warranty (or 18 months from shipment) mitigates procurement risk and supports predictable ROI through documented post-purchase support and service continuity.

FAQs
Begin by confirming enclosure compatibility with Eaton Type W MCCs and ensuring there is adequate space for wiring and service access. Mount the unit securely, connect both feeder circuits to the HFD breakers, and use the slider handle to verify enclosure closure and fault isolation points. Adhere to UL Listed guidelines and reference the official Eaton FTF2AE12 datasheet for layout and torque specifications.
The 15/40 A trip rating indicates two protection levels suitable for different motor loads within the same center. A lower setting protects smaller motors during startup and running conditions, while the higher setting accommodates larger start-up currents. This dual rating helps minimize nuisance trips and improves overall uptime by tailoring protection to motor size and startup characteristics.
Yes. The FTF2AE12 is designed as part of Eaton’s Type W motor control center family, enabling streamlined integration with existing W-series components. When retrofitting or expanding, confirm enclosure dimensions, feeder availability, and connection compatibility with current HFD breakers and slider handle configurations to ensure a seamless upgrade path.
The FTF2AE12 carries UL Listed certification, signaling compliance with established safety and performance standards for industrial control equipment. This certification supports procurement approvals, reduces qualification risk for regulated environments, and aligns with common procurement requirements in manufacturing and process facilities seeking proven reliability and safety.
Maintenance benefits come from straightforward access via the slider handle and the robust, modular dual-feeder design that supports easier fault isolation. The compact footprint reduces space and wiring complexity, contributing to lower installation costs and faster commissioning. Over time, reduced downtime and predictable protection translate to a favorable return on investment for modernization projects.
