EQ9683 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ9683 - 150Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens EQ9683 is a 150 Amp, 2-pole main circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Siemens and legacy ITE EQ96 load centers and panelboards. Featuring a thermal magnetic trip design, it provides protection against overloads and short circuits while matching the original electrical specifications of the equipment it was designed to serve.

Because replacement breakers need to match the existing panel—not just electrically, but physically as well—the EQ9683 is built as a form, fit, and functional replacement. Its plug-in mounting design installs in compatible EQ96 panels and occupies four single-pole spaces, making it suitable for applications that require the original footprint and configuration.
