QGP22175TP - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

QGP22175TP - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The QGP22175TP is a 175 amp, 2-pole circuit breaker made for jobs where you need solid protection and no surprises. It’s a thermal magnetic breaker, so it covers both overloads and short circuits—the basics, done right. Rated at 65kA at 240VAC, this one is built for systems where fault current can get high. It’s not a light-duty breaker. If something goes wrong, it’s designed to shut things down quickly and help prevent bigger damage. There’s no adjustable trip here. The trip unit is fixed, which is usually what you want in a lot of commercial or industrial setups—less room for error, more consistency. Hookup is simple. Studs on the line side (1/4-20"), lugs on the load side. Clean, secure connections, nothing unusual to deal with. It fits where it should and installs the way you’d expect.
