Eaton FTF2NL12 Motor Control Center - HFD Dual Feeder
Part Number: FTF2NL12
Quick Summary
Eaton FTF2NL12 motor control center coordinates dual-fed power for industrial automation panels. Engineers often struggle with space, safety, and downtime when integrating multiple feeders. UL Listed certification ensures compliance with essential safety standards for panel power distribution. With a compact 12-in unit size and dual feeder design, it supports faster installation and predictable maintenance, improving overall line efficiency. In practice, this translates to reduced wiring complexity, faster commissioning, and easier spare-part planning for industrial facilities. Engineers also benefit from reliable 150/100 A trip rating and HFD circuit protection that aligns with utility and code requirements. This combination of compact footprint, robust protection, and Eaton support helps procurement teams reduce risk and accelerate project timelines.

Dual feeder architecture with an HFD circuit breaker enables centralized power distribution while preserving protection for each feeder. This design reduces wiring complexity and shortens commissioning time, translating to lower labor costs and faster startup in new lines. Ideal for manufacturing floors, material handling, and packaging lines where reliable power distribution is critical. Slider handle operation provides safe, quick access to internal components. The ergonomic mechanism minimizes exposure during maintenance and improves safety metrics on the line. This is particularly valuable during periodic testing or routine phase checks in process plants and data-center-adjacent facilities. Compact 12-inch unit size with 22-inch depth, 16-inch height, and 25-inch width optimizes panel layouts. The efficient footprint frees valuable enclosure space, enabling tighter rack configurations and easier retrofits in existing MCC busses. This suits retrofit projects or new builds in control rooms with limited space. UL Listed certification supports compliance with electrical safety standards and helps meet regulatory audits. The warranty provides coverage (one year from installation or 18 months from shipment), giving maintenance teams confidence in long-term operation. These factors contribute to lower total cost of ownership when compared to standalone cabinets. Trip rating of 150/100 A matches dual feeder loads and protects critical motors. The device aligns with Eaton Type W MCC families, ensuring compatibility with existing Eaton low-voltage architectures. This reduces integration risk and accelerates procurement for industrial automation projects. Industry insight: Installing a type W MCC with a slider-handled, dual-feeder design reduces field modifications and improves serviceability, which is a recurring concern in plant expansions.

FAQs
The FTF2NL12 is designed to integrate with Eaton Type W motor control center architectures. Begin by verifying enclosure footprint and alignment with the dual feeder arrangement, then follow the included Eaton specification sheet for wiring diagrams, terminal block access, and slider-handle operation. Ensure power is isolated before removal or installation and test a controlled energization sequence after mounting to confirm proper trip operation and protection coordination.
The unit features a 150/100 A trip rating with an HFD circuit breaker. This configuration protects dual feeders feeding motor circuits with large startup surges common in industrial fans, pumps, and conveyors. Proper coordination with downstream protective devices is recommended to maintain selectivity and minimize nuisance trips during peak startup currents.
UL Listed confirms adherence to recognized safety standards for electrical equipment used in control panels, supporting safer operation and easier audit compliance. While other certifications may be pursued, UL Listed status for the FTF2NL12 provides a reliable baseline for electrical safety and compatibility with many industry standards and inspection practices.
Yes. The FTF2NL12 is designed with a compact 12-inch size and a practical 22-inch depth, enabling installation in space-constrained MCCs and panel enclosures. The slider handle access simplifies servicing, reducing time and risk during retrofits or expansions in crowded plant environments.
Eaton provides a warranty of one year from installation or eighteen months from shipment, whichever occurs first. This coverage supports maintenance planning and minimizes total cost of ownership, especially during early field use when reliability and availability are critical for production lines.
