Q232175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

Q232175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

If you’re trying to match a Q232175 circuit breaker in an existing electrical system, the details matter. This is a 175-amp, 3-pole Q2 molded-case circuit breaker with a Q-Frame design and I-Line plug-on connection. It uses thermal-magnetic protection and is rated 10 kA at 240 VAC. The breaker measures approximately 7.88 inches high, 4.5 inches wide, and 4.31 inches deep. Those specifications are especially important when replacing a breaker in legacy equipment, where matching the original frame, mounting arrangement, amperage, pole count, and interrupting rating can be just as important as finding the correct part number. The Q232175 is built to last and is intended for electrical systems designed around this particular breaker configuration.

Key Features and Benefits
