The dual feeder configuration lets two separate circuits be powered from a single MCC housing, reducing panel count and simplifying protection strategy for mixed-load lines. The integrated HFD circuit breaker option improves fault isolation, minimizes downtime during trips, and supports straightforward field servicing by standardizing protective devices across feeders. The 12-inch unit size provides a compact footprint ideal for retrofit projects or new installations where space is at a premium. The slider handle mechanism enables quick, safe access to compartments, enhancing operator safety and accelerating routine maintenance during busy shift operations. A 60/70 A trip rating covers a broad protection range for motors and feeders without over-sizing, helping to prevent nuisance trips while guarding critical equipment. In automation lines, this balance translates to higher line availability, reduced energy waste at startup, and improved overall equipment effectiveness. UL Listed certification confirms compliance with recognized electrical-safety standards, while Type W architecture ensures compatibility with Eaton motor control center accessories and control schemes. This interoperability reduces procurement risk, shortens commissioning times, and supports scalable upgrade paths as plant requirements evolve. Installation advantages include standard mounting footprints and proven wiring routes that streamline panel builds and upgrades. The rugged design is built for demanding environments, delivering lower maintenance costs and longer service life through fewer part replacements and easier component replacements. Engineers benefit from clear labeling and maintainability considerations built into the Type W family. From a reliability and ROI perspective, deploying the FTF2GH12 MCC in medium-size automation cells supports predictable maintenance windows and improved uptime, while simplifying spare parts planning and vendor qualification for plant-wide projects.

FAQs

The FTF2GH12 MCC is designed for easy integration with existing dual feeder configurations by using a common enclosure and standard mounting footprints. When retrofitting, verify the enclosure width and depth align with the panel opening, ensure the HFD circuit breakers match the protection plan, and use the slider handle to access sections quickly. This approach minimizes wiring changes and reduces commissioning time while maintaining UL Listed safety compliance.
The 60/70 A trip rating provides a balanced protection level for a range of motor sizes and feeder currents. It helps prevent nuisance trips during startup while guarding against overcurrent events that could damage motors. This rating is suitable for mixed-load lines common in automation cells, contributing to higher uptime and improved energy efficiency without over-protecting smaller motors.
Yes, the FTF2GH12 MCC is well-suited for packaging, metals, and plastics manufacturing where compact footprint and reliable protection are essential. Its 12-inch unit size, dual feeder capability, and HFD breaking options support the needs of machines with multiple drives and varying loads. UL Listed certification adds confidence for compliance in regulated production environments.
The FTF2GH12 is UL Listed, indicating adherence to recognized electrical-safety standards, which simplifies supplier qualification and audit processes. While CE or IP ratings are not listed in the provided data, UL Listing provides a solid baseline for electrical safety. This can streamline procurement, minimize risk during commissioning, and support scalable deployments across multiple panels.
The MCC consolidates protection, wiring, and access in one unit, reducing maintenance complexity and spare parts inventory. The slider handle design and 12-inch footprint enable quicker fault isolation and servicing, translating to lower downtime and faster commissioning. Over the project lifecycle, these efficiencies reduce total cost of ownership and improve return on investment for panel upgrade initiatives.
