KAL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

KAL36175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The KAL36175 175 Amp Circuit Breaker is engineered for demanding power systems where safety and dependability matter most. Featuring a molded-case design with thermal-magnetic trip technology, this breaker is built to help prevent overloads and short circuits reliably. Its high interrupting capacity means it handles fault events cleanly, and its user-friendly lug design simplifies installation in commercial or industrial setups. Whether you’re upgrading an electrical panel or building a new power distribution line, this breaker gives the performance you expect without unnecessary complexity.

Key Features and Benefits

• High Interrupting Capacity: Delivers 42 kA at 240 VAC, 25 kA at 480 VAC, and 22 kA at 600 VAC. That means stronger protection under fault conditions across a range of system voltages.
• Thermal-Magnetic Protection: Combines thermal sensing for gradual overloads with magnetic actuation for instantaneous faults, giving two layers of defense.
• Easy Installation: Equipped with both line and load lugs, making connections quick and secure.
• Consistent Performance: Holds up under frequent cycling and tough environments, helping reduce downtime.
• System Safety Confidence: Designed and tested to perform under real-world stresses you’d expect in heavy-use settings.
