B-LINE F5S05C – Frequently Asked Questions
1) How long is the flex shaft on the Eaton Series G F5S05C, and how far can the handle sit from the breaker?
The shaft is 5 feet long, so the operating handle can be mounted up to that distance from the N-frame breaker it drives. That is what makes a flex shaft mechanism useful when the handle has to land on an enclosure door or panel some distance from the breaker itself.
2) What exactly am I ordering with part number F5S05C?
F5S05C is the Eaton B-Line Series G flex shaft handle mechanism for N-frame molded case circuit breakers, supplied with a 5 foot shaft. It is the operating mechanism only, not the breaker or the enclosure.
3) Why choose a flex shaft handle mechanism instead of a direct or variable-depth rod operator?
A flex shaft mechanism routes the operating linkage around obstructions and lets the handle be placed well away from the breaker, which a rigid rod operator cannot do. The F5S05C carries a 5 foot shaft for exactly that. If your handle sits directly in front of the breaker on the enclosure door, a direct-drive operator is the simpler choice.
4) What are the shipping dimensions and weight of the F5S05C handle mechanism?
The F5S05C is listed at 19 x 19 x 2.5 inches and 7.5 lb. Worth knowing if you are staging a panel build and need to account for the coiled shaft assembly.
5) Is there a spec sheet for the Eaton F5S05C handle mechanism?
Yes, Eaton publishes a spec sheet for the F5S05C, and it is linked from the product information. Use it to confirm mounting hole patterns and handle plate cutouts before you punch the enclosure door.
