JGA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGA36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

A 175A rating alone isn't enough to identify the right breaker for an existing installation. With the JGA36175, you also have an I-Line connection on the line side, mechanical lugs on the load side, three poles, and a PowerPacT J-Frame design for comparison with the equipment already in place. The JGA36175 is built to last and is a practical choice when these electrical, connection, and dimensional requirements line up with the distribution equipment already in service.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, 3-pole J-Frame design: Provides the core identifiers needed when checking a replacement against existing equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Provides overload and short-circuit protection using the specified trip technology.
• I-Line line-side connection: The line side uses an I-Line connection, while the load side uses mechanical lugs.
• AL175JD terminal: Accepts 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
• Adjustable long-time pickup: Adjustment range is 0.25–1 × In.
• Push-to-trip button: An integral button allows the breaker to be manually tripped.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Gives you another specific value to confirm against the installation requirements.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JGA36175 carries a CE quality label and is listed with UL, CSA, and NOM product certifications. The manufacturer also identifies UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2 among the applicable standards. The front cover has an IP40 rating and a pollution degree of 3, as specified in IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The JGA36175 is intended for compatible distribution equipment that calls for a 175A, three-pole J-Frame breaker with I-Line construction. It's especially useful in replacement situations where the existing setup requires an I-Line line connection and load-side lugs rather than a different connection arrangement.
