Dual feeder design optimizes power distribution by splitting loads across two feeders, enabling selective maintenance and improved fault isolation. This configuration reduces wiring complexity and enhances sequential startup capabilities, directly boosting overall line availability. In applications such as pumps, fans, and conveyors, the ability to segment power feeds minimizes cross-talk and simplifies panel routing while preserving cabinet space. HFD circuit breaker protection provides fast, reliable interruption of fault currents, helping protect motors and drives, reducing arc-flash exposure, and limiting equipment damage. This is especially valuable in high-demand process lines where protection coordination with a Type W MCC is critical for safety and uptime. Slider handle mechanism allows easy, one-handed operation for section isolation and routine maintenance. The ergonomic design shortens downtime during testing or fault response, improving maintenance efficiency without compromising safety. The 12-inch unit size, with overall dimensions near 22 in depth, 16 in height, and 25 in width, delivers a compact footprint suitable for crowded switchgear rooms. This footprint enables faster installation, easier retrofits, and scalable integration in modular manufacturing environments. UL Listed certification provides a validated safety baseline and aligns with industry expectations, while Eaton’s standard warranty terms offer procurement confidence and long-term serviceability. This combination supports regulatory compliance, operational reliability, and cost-efficient lifecycle management for industrial motor control.

FAQs
Installing the FTF2BF12 requires aligning the dual feeder panels with existing circuit distribution and ensuring adequate clearance for access to the slider handles. Verify mounting surface flatness, ensure UL-listed wiring practices, and confirm compatible HFD breakers are used. The compact 12 in unit size helps with space constraints, but plan feeder routing to minimize cross-talk and optimize maintenance access.
The dual feeder design splits motor loads across two separate feeders, enabling selective maintenance and improved fault isolation. This reduces wiring complexity, shortens downtime during bank maintenance, and supports staggered or prioritized startup sequences—ideal for conveyors, pumps, and fans in manufacturing lines.
The FTF2BF12 carries UL Listed certification, confirming safety and compliance with recognized electrical standards. This helps satisfy regulatory requirements for commercial and industrial installations and supports procurement with confidence. Always verify local compliance requirements for your facility and project type.
The 20/50 A trip rating provides Tiered protection for different motor loads, enabling appropriate fault detection and protection coordination with the HFD circuit breaker. This reduces nuisance tripping, minimizes motor wear, and improves uptime for medium-to-large motors commonly found on conveyors and pumps in industrial lines.
Eaton offers a one-year warranty from installation or 18 months from shipment under policy 25-000, whichever comes first. The UL Listed MCC design supports predictable maintenance cycles, while field service can be scheduled through Eaton or its certified partners. Regular inspection of the slider mechanism and breakers helps sustain optimal protection and performance.
