CC2175 - 175Amp Circuit Breaker

CC2175 - 175 Amp Circuit Breaker

The CC2175 circuit breaker is a 2-pole, 175-amp molded case circuit breaker designed to provide dependable overcurrent protection in 240VAC electrical distribution systems. Built on a CC frame, this breaker is engineered for proper form, fit, and function within compatible panels and switchgear assemblies. With a 10kA interrupting capacity at 240VAC, the CC2175 is rated to safely interrupt fault currents within its specifications, helping protect conductors and equipment from damage due to overloads and short circuits. Weighing approximately 2.75 lbs and measuring 6.0 inches in height, it is sized for straightforward installation in applicable legacy electrical systems. Like all properly manufactured molded case circuit breakers, this unit is built to last when installed and maintained according to manufacturer and NEC guidelines.
