JGL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

JGL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

For the JGL36175, the 1750A magnetic tripping current and 875A magnetic hold current are useful details when confirming the exact breaker required for your existing installation. This 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame circuit breaker uses thermal-magnetic protection and is rated for both overload and short-circuit protection. The JGL36175 is built to last and is well-suited to replacement applications where these electrical, connection, and dimensional requirements match those of the equipment already in service.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, 3-pole configuration: Provides a clearly defined current and pole arrangement for compatible distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic protection: Provides overload and short-circuit protection using the specified thermal-magnetic trip technology.
• Line- and load-side lugs: Both ends use lug connections, simplifying comparison with an existing breaker installation.
• Defined magnetic trip characteristics: Magnetic tripping current is 1750A, while magnetic hold current is 875A.
• 80% continuous-current rating: Provides an additional specification for verifying compliance with the requirements of the electrical system.
• Integral push-to-trip: Allows manual tripping of the circuit breaker from the cover.

Material Compliance and Certifications

The JGL36175 is CE marked and carries UL, CSA, and NOM product certifications. Manufacturer-listed standards include UL, CSA, NEMA, NOM-003-SCFI-2000, and IEC 60947-2. The front cover is rated IP40, and the specified pollution degree is 3 under IEC 60947-1.

Where It Works Best

The JGL36175 175A circuit breaker is compatible with existing and legacy distribution equipment that calls for a three-pole PowerPacT J-Frame breaker with lug connections on both the line and load sides. Its AL175JD terminals and 4 AWG–4/0 AWG aluminum/copper conductor range provide clear connection details to check when replacing an existing breaker.
