PDG23M0175TFFJ - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

PDG23M0175TFFJ - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The Eaton PDG23M0175TFFJ is a 175A, 3-pole Power Defense molded-case circuit breaker designed for use in compatible commercial and industrial electrical systems. It's a Frame 2 breaker with a 65 kA interrupting rating at 480 VAC, providing the capacity needed for applications where higher available fault current is a consideration. This model uses a fixed trip and includes line and load lugs, so there aren't adjustable trip settings to configure in the field. Its dimensions are approximately 4.19 inches high, 6 inches wide, and 3.5 inches deep. If you're replacing an existing breaker, matching the catalog number is always a good place to start, but don't stop there. Check the amperage, pole count, interrupting rating, dimensions, trip configuration, and connection requirements against your equipment before installation. For applications requiring a 175-amp, 3-pole molded-case circuit breaker rated at 65 kA at 480 VAC, the PDG23M0175TFFJ combines those specifications into a single straightforward package.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175-amp rating for compatible power distribution applications.
• 3-pole configuration for use in appropriate three-phase electrical systems.
• 65kA interrupting rating at 480 VAC for applications with higher available fault current.
• Fixed trip design keeps the trip configuration simple, with no field adjustment required.
• Frame 2 Power Defense breaker with a relatively compact physical footprint.
• Line and load lugs included for connections to compatible equipment.
• Clearly defined electrical and dimensional specifications make it easier to compare against an existing breaker.

Material Compliance and Certifications

• The PDG23M0175TFFJ is part of Eaton's globally rated Power Defense molded case circuit breaker family. Specific approvals, certifications, and material compliance requirements can depend on the breaker configuration and the application in which it is used. Check the product markings and applicable manufacturer documentation when a specific certification, standard, or material compliance requirement must be met.

Where It Works Best

• This breaker makes sense for commercial and industrial power distribution applications that call for a 175A, 3-pole breaker with a 65kA rating at 480 VAC. That can include compatible distribution equipment, machinery circuits, facility electrical systems, and other three-phase applications.
  
• It can also be a practical choice when replacing an existing PDG23M0175TFFJ and the original electrical and physical specifications need to be matched. Before installation, compare the complete part number and ratings with the existing breaker and equipment. The 175A rating, three poles, 65kA at 480 VAC rating, Frame 2 configuration, fixed trip, lug setup, and physical dimensions should all be confirmed for the application.
