CA2175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2175 molded case circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 175 amp breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame with a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker provides consistent thermal-magnetic protection for branch circuits and feeder applications operating at up to 40°C. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating, the CA2175 is engineered to safely interrupt fault currents within its rating, helping protect conductors and connected equipment from damage caused by overloads or short circuits. Line and load-side lugs are included, supporting secure conductor terminations and straightforward installation in compatible panelboards and distribution equipment. Designed for proper form, fit, and function, this breaker is well-suited for maintaining and servicing existing electrical systems that require a 175A, 2-pole CA frame solution.
