EQ9685 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

EQ9685 - 200Amp Circuit Breaker

When you need a replacement main breaker that matches the original specifications of your electrical panel, the Siemens EQ9685 is built for the job. This 200 Amp, 2-pole plug-in circuit breaker is made for compatible Siemens and legacy ITE EQ96 load centers and panelboards, providing the correct form, fit, and function for existing installations.

The EQ9685 uses a thermal magnetic trip system that reacts to both overloads and short-circuit conditions, helping protect electrical equipment from damage. With a 22kA interrupting rating at 240VAC, it's suited for applications that require this level of fault protection. The breaker occupies four single-pole spaces, making it important to verify available panel space before installation.
