CAH3175X - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CAH3175X - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CAH3175X is a 3-pole, 175 amp molded case circuit breaker designed for dependable overcurrent protection in commercial and industrial power distribution systems. Built on the CAH frame and rated for 22kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC, this breaker is engineered to provide consistent protection against overloads and short circuits in 40°C ambient conditions. With a non-interchangeable trip unit and included load-side lugs, the CAH3175X offers a form, fit, and functional replacement solution for existing compatible equipment. Its durable molded case construction and proven design make it a practical choice for maintaining and servicing established electrical systems where proper amperage and interrupting ratings are critical.

Whether you are maintaining facility infrastructure, servicing switchgear, or replacing a breaker in a panelboard, the CAH3175X delivers the electrical ratings and configuration required to help keep systems operating safely and within code requirements.
