CA2175W - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CA2175W - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CA2175W circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 175-amp molded case circuit breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection in 120/240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CA frame with a non-interchangeable trip unit, this breaker is engineered for consistent thermal-magnetic protection in commercial and industrial applications operating at 40°C. With a 10kA A.I.C. rating at 120/240VAC, the CA2175W is well-suited for branch and feeder circuit protection where reliable interruption capacity is required. Its compact molded case construction supports straightforward installation in compatible panelboards and distribution equipment using the CA frame format. Designed for longevity and dependable service, this breaker is a practical solution for maintaining and servicing existing electrical systems that require a 175A, 2-pole configuration.
