EQ9684 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ9684 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

The Siemens EQ9684 is a 175 Amp, 2-pole main circuit breaker designed for use in compatible Siemens and legacy ITE EQ96 load centers and panelboards. Built with a thermal magnetic trip mechanism, it helps protect electrical systems by responding to both overloads and short circuits while maintaining the original electrical characteristics of the equipment it serves. When you're replacing a main breaker in an existing panel, matching the original specifications is essential. The EQ9684 is manufactured as a form, fit, and functional replacement, providing the correct amperage, interrupting rating, and physical configuration for compatible applications. Its plug-in design installs in approved EQ96 load centers and panelboards, occupying four single-pole spaces.
