JDA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

JDA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The JDA36175 is a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-frame circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and an I-Line connection on the line side. On the load side, it uses mechanical lugs with an AL175JD terminal, accepting 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors. That combination of amperage, mounting style, terminals, and physical size provides a useful set of checkpoints for matching a breaker to equipment already in service. It is built to last and provides the specific form, fit, and electrical characteristics needed to maintain compatibility with your existing and legacy I-Line equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, three-pole rating: Matches equipment specifically requiring a 175-amp, 3-pole circuit breaker configuration.
• Thermal-magnetic trip technology: Provides overload and short-circuit protection using the manufacturer's specified trip design.
• I-Line construction: Features an I-Line line-side connection and bracket mounting arrangement, important details when checking compatibility with an existing installation.
• AL175JD load-side terminal: Mechanical load-side lug accepts both aluminum and copper conductors.
• 4 AWG–4/0 AWG conductor range: Gives installers a clearly defined conductor range for verifying connection compatibility.
• Push-to-trip feature: Integral push-to-trip functionality allows the breaker to be manually tripped.

Where It Works Best

The JDA36175 is suited to compatible existing and legacy I-Line equipment requiring a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-frame circuit breaker with thermal-magnetic overload and short-circuit protection. Its I-Line line-side connection, bracket-mounting arrangement, and AL175JD mechanical load-side terminal are particularly important when identifying a form, fit, and function replacement. The manufacturer also identifies this model as HACR-rated.
