K3175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

K3175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're sourcing a K3175 circuit breaker for equipment that's already in service, the catalog number is only the starting point. This unit is a 175-amp, three-pole molded-case circuit breaker with a Type K/K-Frame configuration and a thermal-magnetic trip design. The K3175 is built to last, while keeping the focus on what matters for replacement work: matching the 175A rating, three-pole arrangement, K-Frame design, trip type, dimensions, and applicable electrical requirements.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A current rating for equipment requiring this specific amperage.
• A three-pole configuration provides a clear reference point when checking the existing breaker.
• Type K / K-Frame design helps identify the correct physical and functional replacement for compatible equipment.
• Thermal-magnetic trip design matches systems that call for this type of trip arrangement.
• Molded case circuit breaker construction matches the specified product type.
• Clear part number, frame, amperage, pole, and dimensional information make it easier to confirm form, fit, and function.

Material Compliance and Certifications

Specific material-compliance information and certifications were not provided in the available K3175 specifications. UL, CSA, IEC, RoHS, REACH, or other approvals should therefore not be assumed. For installations where a particular certification or compliance standard is required, verify that requirement against the applicable product documentation before installation.

Where It Works Best

The K3175 175A 3-pole K-Frame circuit breaker is suited to compatible existing and legacy electrical equipment that calls for its specific Type K configuration, thermal-magnetic trip design, amperage, pole count, and physical dimensions. It is especially relevant when the goal is to maintain the original form, fit, and function of an established installation rather than change the equipment configuration.
