MPD2175KH - 75 Amp Circuit Breaker

MPD2175KH - 75 Amp Circuit Breaker

For your existing electrical equipment that calls for the MPD2175KH, getting the specifications right is what matters. The MPD2175KH is a 2-pole, 120/240V Type MD-HT circuit breaker, described by the manufacturer as a 175A breaker with a 22 kA interrupt rating. For anyone replacing a breaker in legacy equipment, those details provide a much better basis for selection than appearance alone. These breakers are built to last, but that doesn't eliminate the need for a careful compatibility check. Match the MPD2175KH catalog number, amperage, voltage, poles, interrupt rating, trip characteristics, connection style, dimensions, and equipment requirements before installation.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A manufacturer description — The catalog description identifies the MPD2175KH as a 175-amp circuit breaker for equipment requiring that current rating.
• 2-pole configuration — Provides the specified two-pole arrangement for compatible electrical distribution equipment.
• 120/240V rating — A clearly defined voltage rating helps ensure accurate form, fit, and function.
• Type MD-HT construction — Helps identify the correct breaker family and configuration when replacing an existing unit.
• Thermal-magnetic trip — Manufacturer specifications identify thermal-magnetic trip operation.
• Plug-in connection — Connection type is specified as plug-in, an important detail when checking physical compatibility.

The supplied product information identifies UL 489 as the standard associated with the MPD2175KH. The source information provided no additional certification designation, so none should be assumed.

Where It Works Best

The MPD2175KH circuit breaker is relevant for existing and legacy electrical distribution equipment that specifically requires the MD-HT configuration, two poles, 120/240V rating, 22 kA interrupting capacity, thermal-magnetic trip, and plug-in connection. Manufacturer information links this breaker family to compatible load-center mains and feeders, making precise specification matching especially important.
