JJL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

JJL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The JJL36175 has a few details that are worth checking right away when you're replacing a breaker already in service. It's rated 175 amps, has three poles, and uses a thermal-magnetic trip unit. The JJL36175 is built to last, and its combination of ratings, lug connections, trip characteristics, and dimensions makes it compatible with existing and legacy distribution equipment.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A, 3-pole design for compatible PowerPacT J distribution equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip unit provides overload and short-circuit protection.
• Line- and load-side lugs make the connection arrangement clear when checking an existing installation.
• AL175JD terminals accept 4 AWG through 4/0 AWG aluminum or copper conductors.
• 1750A magnetic trip current and 875A magnetic hold current provide useful reference points when confirming trip characteristics.
• 80% continuous current rating.

Where It Works Best

The JJL36175 is a practical choice for compatible existing and legacy distribution equipment that calls for a 175A, three-pole PowerPacT J breaker with thermal-magnetic protection and lug connections. It's particularly easy to identify by checking the AL175JD terminals, 1750A magnetic trip current, and 7.5 × 4.09 × 3.4-inch dimensions against the breaker already installed.
