HQJ23B175H - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

HQJ23B175H - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a breaker in older equipment, getting the amperage right is only part of the job. HQJ23B175H is a 175-amp, 3-pole molded case circuit breaker with an HQJ2H type designation and a 100k AIC rating at 240VAC. It's also HACR-rated, has a 40°C rating, and includes load-side lugs. Then there's the physical fit—something that's easy to overlook when tracking down a replacement. At 4.50 inches wide, 7.00 inches long, and 2.53 inches deep, the HQJ23B175H has clearly defined dimensions that can be checked against the breaker you're replacing and the space available in the equipment.
