JDF36175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

JDF36175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

The JDF36175 has a few details that are especially useful when you’re checking a replacement breaker against equipment already in service. It’s a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker with a thermal-magnetic trip unit and busbar connections on both the line and load sides. The JDF36175 is built to last, and its combination of electrical ratings, J-Frame construction, and busbar connection arrangement makes it a practical form, fit, and functional replacement where these exact specifications are required.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, three-pole configuration: Provides clear amperage and pole-count specifications for comparison with the existing installation.
• PowerPacT J-Frame design: Helps identify the required physical and electrical configuration for compatible equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit: Provides both overload and short-circuit protection.
• Busbar connections: Use busbar connections on the line and load sides; this is an important detail when confirming replacement compatibility.
• Integral push-to-trip button: Allows manual tripping directly from the breaker cover.
