Q2175B - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

Q2175B - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

If you're looking for a Q2175B circuit breaker, getting the electrical ratings and panel fit right matters. The Q2175B is a 175-amp, 2-pole Type QPP breaker with a plug-in design and thermal-magnetic trip protection. It's rated at 10kA at 120/240VAC, providing protection against both sustained overloads and short-circuit conditions within its specified ratings. The breaker measures 4.5 inches high, 4.0 inches wide, and 2.56 inches deep. One detail that's easy to overlook: it requires at least four panel spaces. Before replacing an existing breaker, compare the part number, electrical specifications, and physical configuration. A breaker that looks similar isn't necessarily the right match for the panel.

Key Features and Benefits

• 175 amp rating for compatible higher-amperage applications.
• 2-pole configuration for applications requiring two-pole circuit protection.
• Thermal-magnetic trip responds to both overload and short-circuit conditions.
• 10kA A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC.
• Plug-in design for compatible panel installations.
• Type QPP configuration helps identify the breaker and its intended panel application.
• Requires a minimum of four panel spaces, an important detail to check before installation.
