MPD2175R - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

MPD2175R - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

When you're replacing a circuit breaker in existing or legacy electrical equipment, the small details matter just as much as the amp rating. The MPD2175R is a 175A, 2-pole circuit breaker rated for 120/240V, with a Type MD-T configuration and reversible branch-main design. The MPD2175R is built to last, while still requiring the same careful compatibility verification you would give any circuit-protection component. For legacy installations specifically calling for this catalog number and configuration, it provides the form, fit, and functional characteristics needed to evaluate an appropriate replacement.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175A current rating — Designed for equipment and circuits requiring a 175-amp breaker rating.
• 2-pole configuration — Provides the two-pole arrangement specified for compatible electrical distribution equipment.
• 120/240V rating — Clearly defined voltage rating makes it easier to compare the breaker with existing system requirements.
• Type MD-T — The manufacturer's MD-T designation is an important identifier when checking compatibility with legacy equipment.
• Reversible branch-main configuration — Manufacturer information identifies the MPD2175R as a reversible branch-main breaker, an important distinction when replacing an existing unit.
