CHH2175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CHH2175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

The CHH2175 is a 175 Amp, 2-pole molded case circuit breaker commonly used in commercial and industrial electrical equipment. You'll often find it installed in switchboards, panelboards, feeder circuits, and other distribution equipment where a CHH-series breaker was originally specified.

Most buyers looking for a CHH2175 are replacing one that's already in service. Maybe a breaker has failed. Maybe it's part of a scheduled maintenance project. Either way, the goal is usually the same—match the existing breaker and keep the equipment configured the way it already is.

This breaker features a 100kA interrupting rating at 240VAC and a non-interchangeable trip unit. The two-pole design allows both poles to operate together and is intended for applications that require that specific setup.

The molded case construction is built to last, and that's one reason breakers like the CHH2175 continue to be used in maintenance and repair projects. For many electricians and facility personnel, the decision comes down to something simple: finding a breaker that matches what's already installed.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The CHH2175 is intended for installation in compatible electrical distribution equipment and should be installed and serviced by qualified electrical professionals. Proper application, installation, and maintenance should be performed in accordance with applicable local, state, and national electrical codes. Compatibility with the existing electrical system should always be verified before installation.

Where It Works Best

• Commercial buildings
• Manufacturing facilities
• Industrial plants
• Institutional and educational facilities
• Electrical distribution equipment
• Switchboards and power distribution systems
• Feeder circuit protection applications
• Branch circuit protection applications
• Existing CHH-series electrical installations
• Maintenance and repair projects requiring matching breaker specifications
• Facilities operating long-established electrical infrastructure
• Applications requiring a 175 Amp, 2-pole circuit breaker
• Systems requiring a 100kAIC interrupting rating at 240VAC

When a breaker in an existing CHH installation needs attention, the simplest approach is often to replace it with a breaker that has the same ratings and configuration. The CHH2175 is commonly used in those situations, helping electricians and maintenance personnel keep equipment configured the way it was originally designed while maintaining consistency throughout the electrical system.
