CA2175X - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2175X - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2175X is a 2-pole, 175 amp molded case circuit breaker designed for use in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame, this breaker provides thermal-magnetic protection against overloads and short circuits, helping safeguard wiring and connected equipment in commercial and industrial panels. With a 10kA interrupting rating at 120/240VAC, it is suitable for applications where moderate fault current capacity is required. This model features a non-interchangeable trip unit, meaning the trip characteristics are fixed and factory-set. It is rated for operation in ambient temperatures up to 40°C, making it appropriate for standard indoor installations. The breaker also includes load-side lugs, allowing for straightforward conductor termination. Constructed with a molded case housing, the CA2175X is built to last and intended as a direct form, fit, and function replacement for compatible CA-frame breakers.
