QS2175H - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

QS2175H - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

When your electrical system demands dependable protection, the QS2175H 2-pole thermal magnetic circuit breaker is built to deliver consistent performance. Rated at 175 amps with a 22kA interrupting capacity at 120/240VAC, this breaker helps you protect electrical equipment from overloads and short circuits before they become costly problems. Whether you're upgrading an existing distribution system, replacing a worn breaker, or maintaining commercial or industrial equipment, the QS2175H provides the dependable circuit protection professionals expect.

Its thermal-magnetic trip design combines two layers of protection in a single device. The thermal element responds to sustained overloads, while the magnetic element reacts almost instantly to high fault currents. This balanced protection helps you keep electrical systems operating safely while reducing unnecessary interruptions. The breaker is also HACR rated, making it suitable for compatible heating, air conditioning, and refrigeration equipment. With support for #3 AWG through 300 kcmil copper or aluminum conductors, the QS2175H offers the installation flexibility needed for a wide variety of power distribution applications.
